Thatguy, Xanax is NOT a narcotic. You have an illness &
anxiety meds like benzos are called in or faxed often.
Lortab is a narcotic & is also faxed w/ a Dr. sign-off.
Your health was jeopardized w/o your Rx. Xanax cut-off
can cause violence & seizures dependng on dose/length.
`Your health' is the most important thing right now. I
took Xanax for yrs. w/ no problem. Dr. retired. I had a
Rx refill for 6mo. till I find a new MD. This was my
family doc & taken to get me thru surgeries. It's 2 yrs. & 16 docs later & still no Xanax. It's now used in st. drugs so they won't prescibe. Tried other meds.
but Xanax gave best results fast & only when I had stress & inflammation of vessels. I wk'd for docs & I
know the `God Syndrom'. They will protect staff before patience. I had a Neuro appt & was threatened, yelled,
terrified & ran crying into a collegue. They said to go elsewhere. He frequently goes off his meds & gets that way! It's POWER-play! 3 MDs have threatened me.
Once ticked off, they write reports that become public if you file. You can file w/ St. Brd. but it's hard. I know that they have lawyers that can postpone hearings for yrs & big $. Your case will fail because the med. presents doubt of stability. Once recorded, no Dr. will take you on. I know your rage. File a letter for record to Board & walk away. Save $ for health & the life you're worth. Spread the name to others of the Dr. that wronged you but drop it w/ your other MDs.
Awful people exist. My Vet of 20 yrs threw me & pup out via letter because of new employee comment. He's
wealthy from my referrals. I'm on Humane Soc. Brd. His stupid moment dismissed me & all my letters were returned. I choose to wreck his reputation. Vent & try to get help for the now. This is so awful. You trust & get betrayed. I'm in remission from a tumor & was just given the cold shoulder *find a new surgeon! I don't even have a GP. Turns out, 1993 doc that missed my
cancer bought the practice. I'm out to possibly die & he's the top-doc? Told them that if I wasn't kept on, my obit. will list all the Drs. that treated me! I'm back in but now looking. You need to breathe & think. Hope what goes around `happens!' And you thought your letters were long! This therapist would have done you harm later on. Beat up a pillow. Get a VooDoo doll!

purple2067- Im also in NY, so I am going to call the places you mentioned. And my doctor never gave me a list of other psychiatrists or even hinted at it. She just told me to cancel my appointment. She also didnt mention a word about weaning off the xanax. She just gave me 2 weeks worth and said to leave.
Murphy- I was told that they can phone in prescriptions for xanax if its an emergency. The doctor told me that she couldnt do it when i talked to her the night before I came in(when I was totally out) Then when I'm on my way there when I gave them the call asking if the script form was ready, that is when they told me that they could call it in. Go figure right? I guess it wasnt important enough to the doctor the night before when I was having a panic attack and was all out of meds. But the next day they could do it for some reason. This damn place is a joke. I still can't believe that the doc that was treating my mental illness could behave in such a way and make up lies about what I said. Well, I really think I have a case against these people and it seems you guys feel almost the same way. LIke I said, Im calling a lawyer tomorrow, and have allready called my insurance company along with a couple other places. I am filing reports with as many places as I can, and have also written a few letters and sent them to my local newspaper along with a couple other places. Now, Im not one of those people who sue mcdonalds when they dump hot coffee in their lap. I just dont think this lady should be practicing medicine and I am going to do my utmost to see that as many people as possible know the way they treat their patients at this place. I've talked to a few other people who have some bad things to say about this place also. I just really hope that this place isn't just allowed to get away with something like this. I'll know more tomorrow after a few phone calls. Again, thanks to everyone who responded. I really appreciate it. And thank you for the support.
