So I take parnate, which causes insomnia. For the last year or so, I've taken xanax every night to help me sleep and have slept reasonably well. Last week, I ran through my scrip and, since I was seeing my p-doc at the end of the week anyway, decided to just wait until I saw him to get a new scrip.
I didn't sleep for five nights. I had abdominal pain and constant retching, felt horrible. When I saw him, he said, you're having xanax withdrawal. You should have called me as soon as you ran out. It never occurred to me. I figured, I just take it at night, it has a short half-life, so I'm mostly xanax fee most of the time. How could I have withdrawal?
Anyway, once I got a new scrip, I slept ten hours without moving a muscle all night. Since then, I've been sleeping normally. I've been taking this so long, I had forgotten how much it helped my sleep.
