>Why?! Because I see no point! It's like doing something just for the sake of doing something. I've actually been proud of myself for getting my doctor to prescribe Xanax for the past year at appropriate levels. It's the only thing that's ever helped and I was proud of myself for allowing myself to get what I needed.
Maybe you would feel better about yourself, your treatment protocol and your relationship with the pdoc if you were to come off Xanax XR? Wouldn't that be an accomplishment? I'm just wondering because you've posted quite a lot recently about your struggles with this med and as you say, it no longer seems to be having any therapeutic effect. The next logical step would be to make an appointment with your pdoc and explain in person about your experiences and dissatisfaction with Xanax XR and ask to go back to Xanax IR, only then can you truly know what he thinks about the situation you're in. If he refuses to reinstate Xanax IR then coming off Xanax XR or switching to another benzo is probably the best thing to do.
