I am really blessed to have a wonderful pdoc. My lithium levels were only .4 so he upped me to 1200mg total of lithium a day. He also increased my lamictal from 100-200. I have been kinda up and down lately my insomnia is really bad so he also added Restoril for sleep. I am really paranoid about taking benzo's and I have a script for 60 xanax a month as needed. My pdoc told me I need to take them more often and that I have been to judicious with the use of them. He explained when the time is right we will do a taper off of the xanax but right now I should be taking them for my quality of life which can be really poor at times. I am lucky to have such an open relationship with my doctor to bad he isn't covered by my insurance but I refuse to give him up. Sorry about the rant.
