However, he knows I don't abuse it. Which is probably why he does it. He knows I take one every night. He has never said I should cut down, or go off it. He has tried putting me on Lexapro, and that didn't work. For some reason, Xanex is the only that that works for me. I am now hoping that now being sober I can let my body get back to functioning the way is meant to without drugs. One day at a time!
If you can stick to one Xanax a night, no problem. I think I'd abuse it and I am sure my Dr. knows this. If fact, I asked him for ONE PILL and he said, "No, and I mean Hell No!" So there, that was my answer.
In some ways, I wish there were a methodone for alcohol, but not the case.
Oh well, he still helps me sleep and that is what is important.
