I was prescribed Xanax in 1992. Five months ago my new PCP changed to Klonopin which is not working. I need help finding a doctor to put me back on my Xanax near Midwest city, OK. ## Why isn't the Klonopin working? I have only taken two of them in my life and they seemed to work. I still have 178 of them! ## They should work great. Xanax n kpins always worked the best for me. Maybe just try them a bit more. I wish I had that many on hand ## I would do anything to get off Xanax. No reason to go back to it if you withdrew successfully. ## I have moved and am trying to find a new doctor to continue my treatment. I was put on 200 mg Zoloft a day, 4 x 2 mg Alprozolam a day, 10 mg of Abilify a day, and 2 x 150 mg Trazodone a night at 16 years old. I am 35. I did not realize it would be th...

I have Medicaid & I'm under a lot of stress & need a dr to prescribe Xanax in the Dallas Texas area. They have to accept Medicaid as I have no insurance. ## Medicaid Rules are Wild. Xanax for Children! Texas has a handful of physicians taking advantage of Medicaid rules by prescribing inappropriate medications for children. This is not only bad for the kids, but eats up Medicaid money that should go to other people. The problem was detailed in an editorial in the Fort Worth Star Telegram. Here are excerpts: With little oversight and apparent carte blanche, a relative handful of Texas physicians wrote $47 million worth of Medicaid prescriptions for powerful antipsychotic and anti-anxiety drugs over the past two years, according to a Star-Telegram analysis. The top five doctor...

I have taken Alprazolam for months and not had any major problems with its effectiveness. Mylan by far worked the best. But now with Aurobindo brand I feel like I’m taking a "sugar pill". The prescribed dose is 2mg as needed up to 4 times a day. The first day I took all 8 mg, despite not filling them until 5:00 pm. I didn’t sleep that night at all and the next day took just as many, with a tiny slice of relief from my anxiety. Usually I don’t take more than 2.5mg- 3 mg a day. I don’t want to have to depend on anything to help me feel “normal”. I filled this drug 03/23/2021. Please tell me, is anyone else going through the same thing?!?!? ## I think their meds are fake. I refuse to take their adderall because they feel like speed. I got some an...

I just moved to Phoenix, AZ and am looking for a new doc with compassion who can prescribe Xanax / Klonopin for anxiety and Percocet for back pain. Any help appreciated. Thanks ## Xanax contains Alprazolam and Klonopin contains Clonazepam, they are both Benzodiazepines, which treat the same conditions, so it is unlikely you will find a doctor that will prescribe both. In addition, many doctors will not want to handle pain treatment and the treatment for other conditions, such as anxiety, because they are not properly trained in handling both conditions. Have you had any luck yet? ## My dr prescribes me 67 8mg suboxone, 1mg klonopin 3x daily and 1mg Xanax for insomnia. ## Xanax is really not a sleeping drug or for insomnia. While the dosage seems acceptable, taking two drugs that are ver...

I have been taking xanax since I was 17 and had my first baby. I started to notice that I was stealing a lot more than I ever had. Now I'm looking at criminal charges for stealing. So, if this is true then I would love for someone to send me something stating that xanax can and does make people steal. ## You better believe it will make you steal among other things to get what you need! It was posted in previous PDRs that benzo "withdrawal can last for LIFE" And that is VERBATIM! Whether they still print it in PDRs I haven't looked , but beware... ## I can't entirely say that xanax led to my kleptomania. I do strongly believe it lowered my inhibitions and impaired my thinking. I began thinking the security bulbs in stores weren't real!!! Please seek help. They do ...

My doctor gave me Hydroxyzine pills on April 12th, 2012 and I want to know if they're still safe to take again? ## HI, Nicky! How are you? Tablets begin to degrade once they are exposed to the elements, such as heat, light and moisture. This means that their time starts ticking away as soon as the seal on the original factory container is broken. From that point on, they have a one year expiration date and after that year, they being to lose effectiveness. Hydroxyzine isn't one that has been known to be dangerous once it's expired, but it's not going to continue working and having its intended beneficial effects. Thus, the best thing to do would be to properly dispose of them and see your doctor for a new prescription. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My hydrox...

My current doctor is moving to be part of a group that is far from me..I've been on Xannex for three years. I went to two different doctors straight out of google search, and they both said they don't prescribe that until they have several visits with the patient… I'm already starting to feel the withdrawals, and I feel I'm gonna start calling out of work it's getting so bad. ## Once you develop an established Doctor Patient relationship the provider might decide to prescribe them for you. If you have been taking it for years you should know how to spell Xanax by now. If you suffer bad withdrawal symptoms you will want to present yourself to an E.R. as this can be very serious. ## I have Xanax attacks throughout my life and I was on it for a couple years again....

Can anyone help? Anybody tried helex generic xanax made by krka 1mg quick release? Are they blue? I thought they where good but got told they should be big round white pills and I had got slow release ones and they where big white round pills. I'm in Europe. Any help would be helpful. Thanks. ## Hi. Me again. The blue helex generic alprazolam I'm asking about are light blue with a score on one side and blank on the other side. Made in slovenia or serbia.

Been taking oval green 2x's a day for couple months. Now the pharm sent me blue oval 605, is there a diference in effectiveness? Also, are they ir, er, ect? And how could I tell? I looked everywhere. ## The new tablets you received, with the 605 marking contain 1mg of Alprazolam, in a regular release formulation, so they are the same as the ones you were taking with the S902 marking. The only difference is that they have been manufactured by a different company. Learn more Alprazolam details here.

Hey guys, So it’s been increasingly difficult, if not impossible to find the 2mg generic alprazolam tablets made by greenstone, but I do know of a pharmacy I could potentially start ordering them through that is an authorized greenstone retailer. But I’m also really curious about these Alprazolam ODT tablets, and how much more effective they might be than even the greenstone. Some bioequivalence can actually be 120% bioequivaoent to 100% lol. For example my subutex is 8.64 mg but it’s bioequivalent to 8. ## Hello, Up until about 6 months ago, I wasn't even aware of the existence of a form of Xanax other than Tablet. It was only when I was picking up a refill one day, and we were having difficulty ordering my preferred brand, that the pharmacist mentioned the, "...

Just want to know wat pills I have found... A tiny round white pill with the number 1 one side and blank on the other side. The other was Up John 55, a 4 sided pink pill which I found out was to treat anxiety. I really need to know wat the white pill is. Please help. ## Someone is selling them on the street as "xtc". IDK for sure. It's a white round pill with a number 1 on one side. ## I have found the same white pills in a pill bottle, i do not know what it is or how to dispose of it. ## all police stations have a med drop off.

I have occasional anxiety so I do not need to take the medication on a daily basis. If the side affects are drowsiness and dizziness, how can this be okay for me to take through the day? If I take it at bedtime will it continue to work through the next day? ## If you take hydrooxyzine at bedtime, it may well still have some effect the next day. However, for anxiety, it usually is most effective at the time one is having problems. Check with your doctor who prescribed it, and tell him/her about the drowsiness it causes you. Maybe she/he could try a lower dose for you. That mild sedating/drowsy effect is one way it hydroxyzine calms folks, though. ## There are also other antianxiety medications that you could try, such as BuSpar (Buspirone), it doesn't cause the same continual fatigue...

I was wondering if anyone has been taking the new Teva 2mg tabs with success? I have plenty but have not taken them. I was using up the old, but they are 7 years old and I can tell the potency is much less. Also have had a lot of stress with my elderly Mom. I am taking Brand, but not sure about it. ## Anyone try the new Teva 2mg clonozepam? ## Have you tried them, yet? If so, how well did they work for you? The FDA warns that Clonazepam is a Benzodiazepine that carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, irritability, and mood changes. Has anyone else tried the Clonazepam from Teva? ## I received the new Tiva this month. I was so disappointed. I’m going to have to switch brands. Along with the new look they must have changed the ...

I'm trying to identify a round blue pill with what looks like an R or P L in a Hexagon on one side and 10 on the back, also in a hexagon. Not scored. The R is square-looking like a P with an L over it to form an R if that makes sense. I think they might be valium but not sure. ## Did you ever identify or try the pill? I received the same.

Hi everyone. I used to take Diazepam, at a 5mg dosage, on and off for anxiety over the last 20 years. I recently moved to a new area and started experiencing arthritis. Now, I take 30mg codeine for pain relief. My question is whether or not it would be safe for me to return to a low 5mg dosage of Diazepam as needed? I Googled it and the information I found suggested it could potentially cause me to stop breathing. Does anyone have any advice? I'm in desperate need of help. Thanks in advance. ## Yes, both Diazepam, and Codeine can cause depression of the central nervous system as side effects, which may result in a lowered rate of breathing, lowered heart rate, dizziness, grogginess, and drowsiness. So, they should only be combined if you're doctor feels it is safe for you to tak...

I started having severe anxiety attacks (all day long), and other anxiety symptoms on July 7th. I have had this happen in 1989 and 2011 and recovered on my own in 3 months without medication. My body has become hyper-stimulated. A week ago I couldn't take the daily crying for 8 hours and pacing the yard, so I took 1/2 of a 0.25 mg Xanax of my sister's. The racing thoughts and crying immediately stopped. However, they made me very sleepy. I went to my doctor. He prescribed me 0.125mg 3 times per day for Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I have NEVER taken medication in my LIFE and I'm 61 years old. Only Advil and vitamins. No depression, no surgeries, no diseases. I am blessed. My question is... does the sleepiness or fogginess get better with time? I still feel anxious when the ...

The 10mg valium from India is totally legitimate. For me, with high tolerance, they work better than the US drugs. The manufacturer is Zepose. I highly recommend these. They are without imprints yet have scoring on the back so that you can break them into smaller dosages. ## I've always been partial to the idea of having to order my medications over the internet versus obtaining a valid prescription from a doctor. But I am still glad to hear you were able to find a company that carries real medication and not complete fakes. That is a triumph in and of itself, considering all the fraudulent products that are out on the foreign market. I did want to mention though, that Zepose is actually an Indian brand name of Diazepam and not who the manufacturer is as you may have been led to bel...

I was just wondering, I filled a script saying crescent on it and the diazepam pill said A 278 on on side and the other side had half of smiley face) I'm just wondering are these okay cause they have a very weird taste to them (bitter) and I've tasted diazepam from the doctors and doctor ones taste a little different maybe because they was 5mg. I took a dose last night ande woke up this morning feeling sweet and happy. My depression has vanished today and I feel on top of the world ## Does diazepam leave a tingly feeling in the back of your mouth?

Dr. took me off Klonopin after years of use. She obviously did not know how as she took me completely off in 8 days. I am going through the worst withdrawals. What can I do? ## Go to the hospital and tell them what she has done and unless you were taking meds that you not suppossed to be taking, she should have prepared you for this. ## Thank you for the reply Kelly. I ended up going to the hospital and they put me back on 1/2 the dose so that I can wean off slowly. Even though I felt terrible on the inside, my vitals were good. I feel better taking it now until I wean off slow. Thanks again, I appreciate the support. This is really hard, harder than I would have imagined. I'm waiting to see what the low dose will do to help my symtoms right now. Will post again later. Thanks again ...
