There is no need whatsoever to prescribe more than one benzo at a time. The doc who Rx'd you a Xanax/Klonopin combo was stupid. Firstly, there are no benzos that are approved for use of Bipolar Disorder, although sometimes high dose Klonopin or Ativan is used to stop an acute manic episode FOR A FEW DAYS while the mood stabilizer has a time to work. Klonopin and Xanax are both pretty poor choices for insomnia. Klonopin doesn't peak in the blood stream for 2-4 hours after taking it, and Xanax wears off around 6 hours after taking it. So, either you wait forever to fall to sleep or wake up in the middle of the night. No benzo is appropriate for long-term use for insomnia. Tolerance develops within about 28 days - the pills no longer work. Lunesta is approved for longer term use, but also has similar addiction risks as benzos. Your best bet; melatonin, maybe trazodone. But, benzos, barbs, and Z drugs - count to ten and you'll be an addict.

I am also in need of a doctor to prescribe Xanax for major anxiety and panic attacks. My doctor passed away and any new doctor I see is so against it when it's the only thing that helps in those situations. I live in Asheville NC if anyone knows of a doctor that is not afraid to prescribe it.

Not every has no self control like you. Also, not everyone is a drug addict like you. You dirt bags make me sick. I can explain to you for your drug use differs from 99% of the population who also take the same prescription drugs but I'm sure you won't understand, so I won't. Go back to the crazy house.

In My opinion, You destroyed your own Life. I'm guessing that You enjoyed the HIGH off these medications and you abused them. Maybe you did need them at first, but it is completely up to the Individual to seek other remedies to the initial problem instead of increasing your dosage and or adding another Benzo to the pot. I took Xanax 2mg for 5 years and when I went off of it I had NO withdrawals or side effects (for severe anxiety attacks). I never asked for my dose to be increased, I don't like getting high. I read self help books & truely tried to deal with the attacks. Now,over a year later I am having anxiety attacks again. It is people like you that abuse the Drug and make it hard for people like me to get a prescription for it again when it is needed. Taking Responsibility for yourself is Real...don't blame the drug.

You are ignorant to the process of a "benzo." They are physically and psychologically addictive over a period of time. Just an FYI... I am not being disrespectful by saying ignorant; I simply mean you don't know or understand the process. That is evident.

Here is just some of what people go through and everything I'm still going through. And I truly have an anxiety disorder
The Stages of Relapse

Relapse is a process, it's not an event. In order to understand relapse prevention you have to understand the stages of relapse. Relapse starts weeks or even months before the event of physical relapse. In this page you will learn how to use specific relapse prevention techniques for each stage of relapse. There are three stages of relapse.(1)

Emotional relapse
Mental relapse
Physical relapse

Emotional Relapse

In emotional relapse, you're not thinking about using. But your emotions and behaviors are setting you up for a possible relapse in the future.

The signs of emotional relapse are:

Anxiety
Intolerance
Anger
Defensiveness
Mood swings
Isolation
Not asking for help
Not going to meetings
Poor eating habits
Poor sleep habits
The signs of emotional relapse are also the symptoms of post-acute withdrawal. If you understand post-acute withdrawal it's easier to avoid relapse, because the early stage of relapse is easiest to pull back from. In the later stages the pull of relapse gets stronger and the sequence of events moves faster.

Early Relapse Prevention

Relapse prevention at this stage means recognizing that you're in emotional relapse and changing your behavior. Recognize that you're isolating and remind yourself to ask for help. Recognize that you're anxious and practice relaxation techniques. Recognize that your sleep and eating habits are slipping and practice self-care.

If you don't change your behavior at this stage and you live too long in the stage of emotional relapse you'll become exhausted, and when you're exhausted you will want to escape, which will move you into mental relapse.

Practice self-care. The most important thing you can do to prevent relapse at this stage is take better care of yourself. Think about why you use. You use drugs or alcohol to escape, relax, or reward yourself. Therefore you relapse when you don't take care of yourself and create situations that are mentally and emotionally draining that make you want to escape.

For example, if you don't take care of yourself and eat poorly or have poor sleep habits, you'll feel exhausted and want to escape. If you don't let go of your resentments and fears through some form of relaxation, they will build to the point where you'll feel uncomfortable in your own skin. If you don't ask for help, you'll feel isolated. If any of those situations continues for too long, you will begin to think about using. But if you practice self-care, you can avoid those feelings from growing and avoid relapse. (Reference: AddictionsAndRecovery.org)

Mental Relapse

In mental relapse there's a war going on in your mind. Part of you wants to use, but part of you doesn't. In the early phase of mental relapse you're just idly thinking about using. But in the later phase you're definitely thinking about using.

The signs of mental relapse are:

Thinking about people, places, and things you used with
Glamorizing your past use
Lying
Hanging out with old using friends
Fantasizing about using
Thinking about relapsing
Planning your relapse around other people's schedules
It gets harder to make the right choices as the pull of addiction gets stronger.

Techniques for Dealing with Mental Urges

Play the tape through. When you think about using, the fantasy is that you'll be able to control your use this time. You'll just have one drink. But play the tape through. One drink usually leads to more drinks. You'll wake up the next day feeling disappointed in yourself. You may not be able to stop the next day, and you'll get caught in the same vicious cycle. When you play that tape through to its logical conclusion, using doesn't seem so appealing.

A common mental urge is that you can get away with using, because no one will know if you relapse. Perhaps your spouse is away for the weekend, or you're away on a trip. That's when your addiction will try to convince you that you don't have a big problem, and that you're really doing your recovery to please your spouse or your work. Play the tape through. Remind yourself of the negative consequences you've already suffered, and the potential consequences that lie around the corner if you relapse again. If you could control your use, you would have done it by now.

Tell someone that you're having urges to use. Call a friend, a support, or someone in recovery. Share with them what you're going through. The magic of sharing is that the minute you start to talk about what you're thinking and feeling, your urges begin to disappear. They don't seem quite as big and you don't feel as alone.

Distract yourself. When you think about using, do something to occupy yourself. Call a friend. Go to a meeting. Get up and go for a walk. If you just sit there with your urge and don't do anything, you're giving your mental relapse room to grow.

Wait for 30 minutes. Most urges usually last for less than 15 to 30 minutes. When you're in an urge, it feels like an eternity. But if you can keep yourself busy and do the things you're supposed to do, it'll quickly be gone. Do your recovery one day at a time. Don't think about whether you can stay abstinent forever. That's a paralyzing thought. It's overwhelming even for people who've been in recovery for a long time.

One day at a time, means you should match your goals to your emotional strength. When you feel strong and you're motivated to not use, then tell yourself that you won't use for the next week or the next month. But when you're struggling and having lots of urges, and those times will happen often, tell yourself that you won't use for today or for the next 30 minutes. Do your recovery in bite-sized chunks and don't sabotage yourself by thinking too far ahead.

Make relaxation part of your recovery. Relaxation is an important part of relapse prevention, because when you're tense you tend to do what’s familiar and wrong, instead of what's new and right. When you're tense you tend to repeat the same mistakes you made before. When you're relaxed you are more open to change. (Reference: AddictionsAndRecovery.org)


Physical Relapse

Once you start thinking about relapse, if you don't use some of the techniques mentioned above, it doesn't take long to go from there to physical relapse. Driving to the liquor store. Driving to your dealer.

It's hard to stop the process of relapse at that point. That's not where you should focus your efforts in recovery. That's achieving abstinence through brute force. But it is not recovery. If you recognize the early warning signs of relapse, and understand the symptoms of post-acute withdrawal, you'll be able to catch yourself before it's too late.
