I've been taking xanax for 20 years due to anxiety. I take .50 twice a day. I was running low on xanax so I cut myself down to one a day and made a call to my doctor to renew by scrip. He had to fax it to Medco which have taken their sweet time filling out the order and mailing it by USPS aka snail mail. I've been completely without xanax for four days. No aches and pain but jittery a little bit anxious and hot flashes so I've been taking a extra blood pressure pill (lisinopril) so it doesn't spike. I've been wanting to get off xanax so I feel I've made it through the worse. I don't know whether to start up one my scrip arrives or stay off it.
I never abused the drug and only a few times took more than perscribed.
