A lot of docs are all freaky about benzos..."Addiction" they shreik. They're no better informed than Joe on the street, because people with legitimate anxiety disorder need benzos the way diabetics need insulin. Nobody says anything about addiction to diabetics, do they?
That said, are you diagnosed with an anxiety disorder?
And lithium to goose up Prozac? Why ? We have Trileptal now. And much better drugs than Prozac, which causes anxiety in some people. Get a new shrink. Nobody on call is inexcusable. I understand needing permission to use the Xanax, I did the same thing myself for years. Somebody should be on call to help you at all times.
I know it's too late for the immediate problem, but I think you are trying to be responsible and deserve better care than that.missliz
