yes my doctor for the last three years has perscribed me xanax for my extrem anxiety. just 1.5 mgs a day. i moved countys so its frowned upon to write a xanax script and get it filled in another county so he said i had to find another docotr. so i did, spent 150$ to be surprised to see a nurse pratictioner, and after 3 minutes said i didnt need xanax i was bipolar...?? which i know im not. basically told me oh well im not writing you xanax. i could have bad withdrawls and the doctors feel like its not there problem, but they were happy taking my money. this is the only medication that has let me live a normal life.
