I am very aware that Xanax can be addicting to some-- not all. I certainly do not want to get to that point and won't let myself. I'm a very disciplined person.
Haha, I think my anxiety may work in my favor when it comes to this issue, because I do worry about it! I worry that I take the medication at all, since it's a bit controversial. I worry that the time will come when I'll have to switch doctors, and nobody will continue with my treatment.
I'm young enough that I actually do believe I will benefit from the novel drugs of the future. I try to view Xanax as buying me some time.
I never see my PA anymore, since he can't prescribe all the controlled medications, so my doctor has become my primary provider. I do know however, that he isn't terribly keen on them, but I wouldn't be either if I were him. He's very young, so was taught in school that they are "bad", because that's the current belief being shared with students. He can't really say how much he thinks they help, since he doesn't prescribe them. I'll ask my doc whenever I actually can see him in person, what his future plan is for me.
