((((((LYN)))))) Honey, take the Xanax your T and doctor prescribed, please. It's supposed to "work by decreasing brain activity" and should help to turn off some of your panicky feelings.

Yes, it can be addictive ... especially when it is NOT taken as directed ... BUT you seem to have a healthy "hate" for it. IMHO, that's a big plus to taking any potentially addictive drug. I've been taking the same pain med, oxycodone, for over 20 years. I still hate it! I wouldn't take it if it didn't work so well and if I didn't need something to take the edge off so I could <u>function.</u> Hopefully, that's what the Xanax will do for YOU ... take the edge off so you can function better.

You're stronger than you think you are, Lyn. I see that even if you can't. Even when you're in pain, you're strong enough to be caring of others here. That's STRENGTH!

Take the edge off ... take the Xanax. Please.
