Xanax And Coordination After 4 Years?

Every doctor I've met assumes any medical issue I have is related to psych meds.1-1.5 years ago I started slipping when going up the stairs, almost falling down when I turn around, brushing against stuff as I walk by them, but I'm not light headed, dizzy, or anything like that. I tke 4 mg XR a day, every other week drop it down to 3mg for a day so I don't get hooked. My libido is lost, but I also have "low vision." I was born blind in my right eye, dealt with several battles of Glaucoma, and the peripheral vision in my left eye is fading. However, they like to blame it on the Xanax. I tell them I've been on it along with 450mg Wellbutrin for 4 years, the first year my psychiatrist built me up to 4mg because the lower doses did not work. I can't take these "experts."

Well, there are many issues that can be caused with the use of a medication like Xanax, when it has been used for that long of a time period.

However, to really find out you do need to consult the right doctor. Have you considered seeing a neurologist?

They would really be the best qualified at helping you get to the root of the problem and discover if it is due to the medications, or from some other issue.
