What Are Diazepam And Alprazolam Prescribed For?

Yes Thank you. I have many different physical conditions. I was on percasets 10 mg 8 per day. Pain doctor called me ask me odd questions then said my UsA showed high levels of retinal??? Until doctor said this to me i had never heard of retinal. I now have had no pain medicines in 4 months now! This is so wrong horrible for me. Doctor said i had 48 hours to get in and take another u.a I had at this time no way to get to them. So now I have been told they can t help me. I had gone to my primary doctor on the 3rd day assuming I would be told to take u.a? Well, I was not asked and I had forgot myself. What can I do now. I have digestive disk decease, FYI romyalga, fractured left hip hypothyroidism, I can hardly walking I sleep maybe 2 hours a night. Also why would a primary doctor still prescribe diazapane and alprazalone to their patient after all this? I m very unhappy the way I have.been treated... By the way. I have no cash. I m on Medicare and Medicaid. I should had known no cash no help. .. Thank you

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per the information you have provided you are suffering from chronic pain and sleep disturbance, so it's better to take Gabapentin or Pregabalin under guidance of your psychiatrist or general physician which helps relieve from the pain and also gives a good sleep and these have very less addictive potential when compared to Diazepam and Alprazolam .

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
