Hello and Welcome to the Forum,
We are glad you found your way here. We will be anxious to find what your doctor has to say! I will tell you, Back in 1986 I came down with Bells Palsy which is caused from stress, that is when My doctor gave me Xanax, but I must mention I was not as bad as you are at that time. At that time in 1986 they did prescribe me 1mg a day, at the time that was the strongest dosage you could take, it worked fine for me up until 2001 when I had my nervous breakdown.
When that happened I was diagnosed with Severe Panic Attacks with Argophiba (means not wanting to be in social atmosphire), BiPolar with rapid cycling and severe manic depressive. Before I was diagnosed with all this, I was the life of the party everywhere I went..after the breakdown, it took an everything I had just to get out of bed. For almost a year my outfit was my nightgown.
When I finally started on the meds for BiPolar it was a rough ride getting them straight, they still are not straight but getting closer.
The best advice I can give you is this...Tell your doctor EVERYTHING you are feeling and never forget..You are hiring the Doctor to care for you so make them listen to you..if they don't or you do not feel comfortable, move on, this is YOUR health, not theirs!
Keep us posted and Good Luck Hun
Love Wrain
