I went to my doctor for my med recheck, after being on 3mg alprazolam ER for 2-3 weeks. I told him it was OK the first day, very mild, very different, lasted long, but week. Everyday since then it's felt weaker, to the point that it now feels as if I take nothing. He decided to switch me to brand name because I mentioned that it was filled as generic, and I'd done better with brand name Xanax.
I was on 4mg Xanax daily for quite some time before this recent switch. I just told him that the alprazolam ER did NOTHING for anxiety. Can you imagine thinking it's OK for a person to go from 4mg Xanax to more or less nothing (although he probably thinks I'm exaggerating, since the med is in my body). I'm having major anxiety. Mini panic at times. I've only been able to go to interviews because I had some regular Xanax left. I forgot to tell him all this.
I took the brand Xanax XR today. It's no help. To make matters worse, he didn't even schedule a recheck.
