Becca, Tell you psych doc how the xanax helps you. Benzos can be habit forming, if taken long enough, a person can develop mental and physical dependance on them. Did your psych doc wean you down and then off of them or send you on your way to go cold turkey? Definately talk to you psych doc. If you really need the xanax to control your anxiety or other BP symptoms then insist the your doc gives them to you. If you intend to continue getting them through your primary care doc then inform your psych doc that you are taking them and will continue to take them. Your psych doc needs to know all medications you are taking at all times. There is always a possibility of one drug countering the effects of another rendering no therapeutic response to a drug. There is always the risk of a drug interaction with another drug that could cause a serious health condition. I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it can be to get different medications from different doctors where the two doctors are not aware of you taking other medications. I'm sorry I don't mean to lecture you - I would just hate to see something bad happen to you unnecessarily. Like I always told my kids, "Be smart and play safe"! Lustrious |
