Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What To Do If Needed A Prescription Of Xanax For Anxiety And Chronic Pain?
I wanted to see what kind of doctor should I go to for Xanax? My pain management doctor does not write anything but pain medication and my family doctor does not want to prescribe them, he gave me 30 a few months ago and then 60 last month but said he did not like writing them because they are addictive. I have had anxiety and chronic pain for years. take a lot of addictive pain meds so I do not have an issue with them being addictive, because if they work, I need them. thanks
Hello Well, as your doctor said, these medicines are actually addictive. it is better to consult a pain management specialist and take these drugs only under his supervision. Otherwise, you might develop tolerance and need the higher dose with time. Thanks.
