In reply to Seeing Pdoc.. want med advice!!, posted by NikkiT2 on October 9, 2000, at 11:10:31
Xanax is available in the UK. I found that saying an 'our father who art in heaven' really helps, and i'm not really religious. I do it as a kind of meditation and I find comfort in the words.
I would not take benzo's if i were u, they are terribly addictive.
