I was thinking of saying "generic Xanax" to avoid the look of trying to impersonate a doctor.

Since he's my primary physician I'm sure he'd be wanting to know who the "other" doctor was, for many reasons.
One of which would be, why aren't I going to that doctor instead?
(Isn't that what is referred to as "doctor shopping"?)> telling a doctor that you've been using a friend's meds is not a good idea (plus it really could be dangerous!).
As it means there are at least two people in violation of federal laws.

After hearing what it did to Stevie Nicks, I am somewhat put off by it, and also think that the minor anti-depressant properties of Xanax are needed.
