Wow, so many responses! Thank you all so very much!!! I will def research Seriquel XR. Am currently on Lexapro 20 mg but I feel like it's the Xanax that's keeping me sane(ish). I'm so glad this thread helped so many other pple with their meds questions :)

Thank you!

23 points is a lot! Glad u got the meds u needed :) As for me... Right now I have no health insurance until disability comes thru so I'm just trying to hold out best I could. But yes, I definitely need fine tuning in that area

Thanks. I'm pretty much in the same place

Thank you for your reply. My T suggested inpatient treatment but I don't have any health insurance until HOPEFULLY my disability comes through. Same situation with finding another Pdoc. My T has said she works with psychiatrists but my current P doc won't do that... Other solutions: my T has...

I've tried MANY different ones and Xanax has worked the best. Until recently. I don't know if I have to explain to you but switching meds is really really hard

I don't know if I'm addicted or if my body is just becoming more tolerant to it. My question was/is whether pple take 4-10 mg bc I'm trying to figure out if I need more/higher dose

Thanks! Will look into it. Can I ask what ur diagnosis is?

I agree about my psychiatrist. I call him my pill pusher bc he'll give me anything I ask for. I have to pretty much Doctor myself. I disagree about going off cold turkey. I've had personal experiences with that and it was baaaaad. And dangerous. Can cause seizures. AND my T (who is extremely...

Totally agree with you on an intellectual level but it's just not working. I've been working with my T so hard on mindfulness exercises but it's really hard and although it's helped me at times, sometimes I just CANT. In fact, I just took 3 mg at once 2 1/2 hrs ago and barely feel anything. Just...

I hear you and ur experience. With me, I have Xanax for panic attacks all day/night long and separate meds for sleeping. And then a THIRD med that's long term... Supposed to help but who knows

I also recorded it! Good idea to save to hard drive...

I've been on Xanax for over 3 years now. Was recently raised to 4 mg from 3 but it's not helping. It only helps when I take 2 mg at once. I googled and saw that 4 mg is the maximum dose but when used for panic disorder (that's me) can go up to 10 mg. I know I'm addicted to it already. Problem...

im extremely uneducated on this subject in a personal way. I know what it means literally and have read other people's stories but it's not the same. My T has casually mentioned a few times that what I've described could be dissociation. But just as an example: I'm sitting in my car now bc I...

I scored 55?!?! I've never been diagnosed with dissociation although T has mentioned it on occasion... Something to def bring up in next session

I don't know if I'm strong enough to do that

She has a very real heart condition. I couldn't live with something happening to her bc I've upset her too much.

I can't imagine the stress you must be going through :( I have very similar experiences to you & I am currently homeless. I would STRONGLY advise you to contact Www.citizensdisability.com. They were actually referred to me by someone else on here so I suppose I'm paying it forward :) I've been...

Discussed with my T. I've come to the conclusion that I need to block her number bc even if she sends me a text and I don't look at it, it ruins my day. I'll still call her once a week. My only issue is that if she texts me, I won't get them. And then if I speak to her on the phone and she...

Yes, good idea. Need to think about that for a bit...
