How To Withdraw From Xanax Slowly Without Any Side Effects?
Question: I was prescribed Xanax because I was told the receptors in the brain camouflage pain; initially I took 1 mg for sleep and a doctor prescribed 4 x's that. Is it used for pain? I have done a lot of research on it and have asked to be helped with withdrawal. Is there a substitute that isn't dangerous that I can take for anxiety. Anxiety came about after dealing with negligence from surgeries and being so labeled Chronic Pain patient that I couldn't get anyone to take seriously the awful pain in areas of surgery. Once a doctor, in my case, sees chronic pain, that's been my diagnosis. I'm fortunate I haven't lost it but fighting for help for so long, I'm at a standstill.
Brief Answer:
XANAX is a antianxiety drug
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking in HCM.
I have read your query and here to answer.
tab Xanax is used to relieve anxiety and stress. It is having no use for relieving pain.
In my opinion Tab Amitriptylline will be better for you. For anxiety you can take tab paroxetine CR. having lesser side effects and will not cause any dependency.
If you are having problem with getting proper quality sleep you can take tab zolpidem before going to bed.
I can understand your problem and fully agree that surgeons do not care for pain after surgeries. but do not worry you will fine after taking these drugs.
It is really good you are taking cognitive behavioral therapies. it will help you a lot to overcome your problem.
hope i have answered your query.
If you have other query you are free to ask.
I wish you good healthy happy painless life.
Take care
