Over 62 New Law

Does anyone know about a new law that people ok over 62 can no longer b d prescribed for anyone over 62 for Xanax & Robxin by primarily y care doctor. That is what happened when I went to my 6 months appointment Thursday. I am 65 & I don't feel I am a fall risk. I am a young 65. Never have had any problems with these drugs & don't abuse them. Don't understand not doing on an individual basis not putting all over 62 people all together. I have had Gastric bypass & most drugs don't work well for me. Doctor gave me 3 meds to replace & can't take any of them, especially Effessor that is a time release capsule which with Gastric bypass it moves so fast you get hit hard & then it is gone. This seems so unfair that your age is against you. Someone needs to start a petition of age discrimination for this.

There is no new Xanax law for older people! If your Doctor told you that tell him you will be filing legal action against him for discrimination and practicing bad medicine. With that said it is well know that certain medications affect older people differently and could cause problems. Usually dosage is also taken into consideration as we age.
