far between, you basicly need to be psychotic to see one, so I
have decided I will fly back to Adelaide and see my psychiatrist there. He is a lot more relaxed about the Xanax than my GP here (the GP keeps telling me I need to quit it, even though I feel its the one thing that has brought me back from the brink of madness/suicide, and allowed me to get
back to work and rebuild my life.) The psych feels that if its
usefull and the dose isnt creeping up, I can take it for as long as need it. Of course I'd like to stop, but right now, I dont think I can (or should).Hey Jono, so you decided to fly back. I remember when you were deciding around the time of your relocation. I'm glad you have a supportive pdoc somewhere. My current pdoc seems like minded about Xanax. He said to me that since I am already on it, and my dose isn't high, he does not see a
problem. My last doctors tried to force me off. However, my current doc supports my efforts to taper down, too.Hope the job is going well.
I dig a pony.
