EM,

I'm sorry you're feeling so bad right now. You've taken an amazing step by admitting to your self-medication and then by realizing it needs to be curbed. I also worry about the possible interactions with other meds you may be taking. Please be careful to make sure whatever you're taking is totally out of your system before starting the xanax (consult with a physician too?).

I trust that your T will guide offer some good advice. Please keep posting.
And, again, GOOD for you!
