This was my first post, and I was half-expecting flamers to disparage me and my post. I've been feeling really ashamed that I, someone with just an undergraduate degree, am even questioning/doubting a doctor, but I just felt nervous about the whole thing. Thanks for answering my questions with such compassion. You guys are the best!
I just have to ask a few more questions. Why do you (med_empowered) say that doctors hate writing prescriptions for Xanax? Is it some type of a controlled substance? Does Klonopin fall under the same category? I would like to try Klonopin, but if it's too much trouble for the doctor, or otherwise makes me appear to be "fishing" for narcotics, then I won't do it. Are these medications ever prescribed for long-term treatment?
What is NMS and TD?
In the meantime, I will try the suggestions that blueberry has posted. Sounds very helpful.
Thanks again everyone for taking the time to respond.
