Do you feel like....?

Does anyone take their meds like benzos every 6-8 hours on the dot? When I was recently pregnant my doctor changed my dosage of my Xanax from every 6 hours to every 8 hours and I feel I need it every 6 hours or I start to panic and not feel I can do anything. But I wait the 8 hours.. my dr just retired and I've been seeing him for almost 15 years I am so sad so upset and so anxious and nervous to see the new doctor because she doesn't understand like he did, he's seen me at my worst. Any way, does anyone take their benzos every 6-8 hours on the dot and not just when they are having anxiety or an anxiety attack? If I am not on a schedule with it my anxiety comes and attacks me so badly ugh this is a really tough time for me!!

A couple of summers ago, when my anxiety was super bad, I was on Xanax 3x daily. It was hard to wait for the time to take the Xanax, for sure. After a couple months, I knew I was getting better because I would start forgetting about taking the it.

LMA,

Sending you encouragement! I am sorry to hear that you've hit a rough spot...but know that it happens to all of us from time to time...and that it is a temporary detour in your recovery journey.

I do hope you can find another doctor that you can come to trust, like your current doc. Maybe he can make a recommendation for you?

Remember that for every new challenge...a new coping skill can help...and bring about further healing.

S.C.

Maybe you need to up the milligrams. Most people start out on .25, and that really is a teeny ting dose for anxiety sufferers.
