> I got a new doc and now take Xanax on an as needed basis, with no trouble at all. I hope yours turns out to be better than mine was. I hated that she made me feel ashamed for wanting a medicine I needed.
That's it isn't it! Being made to feel like a criminal because "HORRORS" you want to feel like you can get through the day.. and "GASP" maybe even enjoy something.. There aren't words.
It's apalling. Disgusting.I'm so fortunate I have a former P.Doc who knows how much influence he has, He's practically famous in Canada and he goes to bat for me, with my less educated Doctors.
But if it weren't for his validation I'd still be seen as something that crawled out from under a rock,simply for wanting to have as much of a normal life as I can.
My heart just aches for people who don't have someone like him, or people who are intimidated or can't articulate what they need. I'm so glad we have the internet where we can help empower each other.
