Dr. Will Not Fail Xanax For 5 Days
Updatedthe only thing u could do to get ur benzos early would be to "switch benzos", bc he can't legally write u a script for the same thing 5 days early. I'd go to your doctor and tell him xanax is starting to scare you bc at Times it doesn't seem to be working as well so you've been having to take an extra here and there and now it's leaving you short at the end of the month...So you think it'd be best if you switch to something different like valium (stays in ur body the longest & u won't get withdrawals for 3-5days w/out it), OR klonipin (stays in ur body longer then xanax). I suggest valium. It has the longest half life. Xanax is the strongest but also has the shortest half-life which means it's going to give u bad withdrawals soon after stopping. Klonipin is the weakest but does have a longer half life then the xanax.Valium has the longest half life and is strong/stronger then klonipin. Tell ur doctor that you believe this is something u NEED to do and is in ur best interest. You've put thought into it and you really want to be done w xanax. Call him and tell them you'd like to talk to ur doctor about switching medications. I did the same thing and am so glad I did!

I did that, switched to Ativan, hated it, used my old Xanax supply and when it was time to use the Ativan I stopped. Two weeks later I was near death
Wow u went from the strongest benzodiazepine to the weakest! Yikes, no wonder u felt near death! That's why I'm trying to scream Valium/diazepam to people! There's a reason! Valium's half life is so I much longer/it's detectable in a U/A for up to 22 days! Not to mention its stronger then the rest of the benzodiazepines except xanax which doesn't beat it by much. So if someone's having issues with xanax I'd highly recommend going to valium. I know from experience xanax's withdrawals and they can be horrendous! I've switched to klonopin and it's not as strong. Xanax is too powerful for the majority of people to not end up abusing, whether by accident or otherwise, and honestly when taking them as prescribed they help so much more with anxiety then xanax hands down! Hence why I found it difficult to not have to take an extra xanax here and there which only leaves you on a never ending roller coaster which I'm so happy to be off of!
