Hey Chris,
I wanted to tell you...about the xanax thing, ... could you ask your doctor for Xanax XR. It's the same drug, but extended release.
IMO Much better than having it affect you all at once. That way you can take one and it would last you all day. Just a thought.

Right now i do take one and it lasts me one day. sometimes into the next day as well depending on what i have eaten or excercised on that day.
I brought up the board to my shrink and physician, showed them printouts. They said right now those options for me. In 2 more months I'm getting another physical. They monitor my dosage and give me what i need, so if i take 2 or 3 for the hell of it, they will be pissed.
With all that's going on on this board, the xanax s*** and all(which i wish i didnt mention, didnt even think it was a big deal.) I have to listen to my medical professionals, who have degrees, high respectable ones, and tons of experience.
Jimmy, thanks for the post, it was how this should have been replied to begin with. Well done and I will mention it to him tomorrow.
To all who are criticizing me, a lot of you may have a lot more experience with recovery, but ask yourself this, do you have any medical degrees? Do you have licenses to practice psychiatry and specialize in anxiety disorder?
I'm visiting doctors, not drug dealers.
Thanks again Jimmy.. - Chris

Good on ya dog, you're still my hero. Lot's of knuckleheads out there...they thrive on the heated responses they get. Only you and your dr. know what is right for you. Obviously he knows about your addiction to Vicodin, so with knowledge he can better treat your anxiety. Good luck amigo...
Chris,

I'm sure they are just concerned is all. My only frustration is telling them the deal. Believe me, Xanax is one more thing a day I dont want to do. Time is THAT precious to me. If my doc finds a way of me off of it (And yes I am researching too) I'll be very happy.
Also as for build up, I've taken it for almost a year, went from 2mg to 1mg about 6 months ago. I have a feeling(hoping) after my next physical, and with the diet I have been following from them(YES, SOYMILK TOO!) I'll be below 1mg...Maybe my Xmas present will be I'm good to go. But I trust him. I take care of a few of his patients) (network consulting) as well, so I told him if he f***s me up he'll be f***ing up thier network, we both got a laugh out of it.
It's all positive with my psychiatrist and my physician, at least the last month it has been. They both told me that they have never seen this energetic side before, He said "When did you become such a wise a**" and he said he meant that as a compliment. My last visit to him he said go conquer the world.
I do have one more issue I'd like to discuss though, following this post. Peace all. - Chris

chris,
I can see fro your site that you are into audio and video systems. That is my profession....i am a touring sound engineer. I don't get to keep the systems I tour with, but my favorite stereo is 65,000 watts of VDOSC line array. Someday I'll figure out how to send pictures on this site and I'll show you a few of them.

Get em over man, I love that stuff. - Chris
