Have Been On Xanax. Going Through Withdraws. Everything Hurts Everywhere. What Could It Be?

My names Denise Renee Collins. I have been on Xanax 3 times a day, 1mg each. My Doctors office just closes only giving people one week to find a Doctor. I however can not find a doctor yet and my don't have a refill. I am going through withdraws really bad, feel like I'm dying everything hurts everywhere. Could you please help me? Maybe help me find someone that will help/give my medication?

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

If you live in the states, it is difficult to find a doctor that will prescribe that high dose of xanax for you although you may have records of having had the prescription from your previous doctor. Xanax is dependence forming. I am thinking that you will do well with using a doctor and starting afresh with a medication that can control your withdrawal symptoms and get you off of xanax. A qualified psychiatrist who is covered by your insurance (you can call you insurance to find out who they cover) will be able to help.

Take care and have a lovely day!
