Sorry Tina,
I didn't mean to freak you out. It's not that the Xanax isn't working, it's that I'm having to take it a lot more often and I'm really concerned about its addictive nature. I think I told you that I went thru detox to kick pain medication not too long ago and I really don't want to have to do that again. I think mentally that would no doubt push me over the edge. I feel bad that I've worried you. You have such a high tolerance to meds that I thought it might work well for you because it is so strong. I hope I didn't influence you into doing something you weren't comfortable with. That certainly wasn't my intention.greg
> Greg--I asked my doc to switch me to Xanax on your info to me. Do you think this might happen to me too?? You're freaking me out. I'm sorry you're having a bad time of it--you've been so helpful to me and I feel so useless to you. The Xanax isn't working for me either unless I take it regularly and even then I still have the attacks at night. Just wanted you to know I'm in your corner and will be watching for any advice too. Hugs and peaceful days---Tina

Its been like this for the last 3-4 days. I've tried to ignore it, but today the symptoms are so intense that I can't. My heart feels like its about to burst out of my chest. I have had my heart completely checked out and it was fine. The bad thing about taking the Xanax here at work is that it makes me real tired and I find it hard to perform my job.
