In reply to Anyone try Xanax-XR?, posted by suneesabrina on February 9, 2006, at 14:54:55
> Has anyone tried xanax-XR? I suffer from anxiety, have tried alot of SSRI's to no avail and am considering Xanax-XR...I take xanax occasionally but otherwise just suffer through it...I'm tired of trying meds and hoping they work and since SSRI's seem to add to my problems, just taking a med that relieves the anxiety is looking better and better all the time. The only thing I fear is possibly being in a fog or being sleepy all the time. I have two jobs and two teenagers so have to be on my feet all the time! When I mention Xanax-XR to my doctors, they've just changed the subject since I guess alot of docs are hesitant to prescribe such a drug. I think if they suffered from anxiety they'd be alot more sympathetic to what really works. Thanks for any input.
I think the need for a benzo is simple,long term,persistent,unprovoked anxiety,relentless,and mainly anxiety that affecting ur life,be it ur job,or family duites etc.
A doc not willing to prescribe a paitent a benzo after being told the anxiety is hurting them at there job,or with there families i think is really do an injustice.Anyway just remeber if u do get xanax xr fyi u can get generic,bit cheaper also there are a LOT of minor stimulants u can use to counter act some of the negative qualites of a benzo,simple caffiene tab broken up and taken with the benzo can help ,id approach ur doc more firmly,i know if i did not have a benzo at certain times i would have lost my job,during xmas i NEEDED to have my anxiety at bay enough to perfrom around non stop situations,and thanks to the benzo i did.
