my t said my stress level was pushing me into paranoia, just because I worry about my truck being gone every time I park it, or not starting or a million other things going wrong... I worry about not being able to complete tasks at work, I worry about losing that job,, she talked my pdoc into giving me Xanax, I have two favors to ask,, any suggestions dealing with the paranoia,, and any experiences with Xanax..i am working with my t but you guys have been there and I value your input.

I am always paranoid, just varies in degree. I take xanax .25 prn it's low enough dosage for me so I don't feel sedated, but it does curve my anxiety. And that's what it sounds like to me you have, anxiety! I have that too lol. low doses prn you should be fine. It's fast acting and doesn't last that long.

My doc gave me 20 pills to last until January of ativan. What a joke. Sometimes I go through anxious periods for days in a row.

Wow .. I get 90 1mg Xanax a month . I don't always take them of course .. But I do know that states everywhere are coming down on doctors about writing benzio scripts .. My husband has been on .50mg xanax at nite to sleep for over 2 years .. But his primary care doctor said he needs to taper off and offered him trazadone........
I have never asked for any increases so in my case there are no issues about me being addicted or drug seeking.

Mine lasted quite a while and when I got the refill script it was for MUCH less than the original. Arg.

I get paranoia too. I think it's part of my catastrophic thinking problem. Only recently I'm ready to face it, was too paranoid & superstitious to even mention it before. But it's a problem. If I'm calm enough I can talk myself through it, think it through rationally, challenge my beliefs. If I'm not in a good state, I hide in my room, cry, pace, panic.
 I'm so sorry you're going through it. The med might help. But benzo's you don't want to be on forever & docs could cut you off anytime... Or the gov could make them illegal. (Sorry that's prob extreme paranoid thinking right there :/ ). Ideally, my goal, I will come to a calm place of peace where I understand that bad things are going to happen, they just do and it sucks. And I will somehow get through them. Look back on every hardship we have been through and we are still here. It's like I hope to become a Zen master lol. Work in progress.

. Personally, Ativan did nothing for me - I got quite angry with pdoc asking if it was some sort of joke sugar pill - that was many years ago. You're also a lot smaller than me though. Klonopin helped me for awhile... Now I'm just pissed that I'm addicted to it. 20 pills of ativan for 3 months?? Absurd. Insulting. I'm so sorry they're putting you through that. Get Xanax.

. No you don't want to get hooked. But telling pdoc these pills aren't helping anymore - does not make you a drug seeker. F-ing jerk idiots should not have you worrying about that. Wouldn't we obviously wish all this bp, meds, all of it away if we could. Please speak up for yourself. But yea don't get addicted to anything. Idk my dear. I really don't know. There's got to be a balance. Maybe 20 yrs ago studies proved that people healed from physical injuries better when their pain was relieved. It was revolutionary. But bp is looked at differently. I hate this klonopin addiction, but I need to sleep at night or I go crazier. Sorry went off tangent of paranoia topic. |

They worry about any addiction to relatively mild sedatives, benzo's were introduced in the 60's to replace the much more actual dangerous barbiturates and doctors welcomed them in open arms! They are relatively harmless, death by OD is verry rare! Addiction is considered mild to moderate compared to other drugs. Now it seems everyone is benzophobic on both sides. And just look at the horrible even dangerous side effects from the so-called "safer" alternatives. Makes no sense to me.

Back to paranoia, I only get truly paranoid when I am on the way up. Do you think this might be the case? Mild paranoia at other times is caused by my thoughts and I can treat them with CBT. |
