I guess I'm taking an indirect approach because I want him to tell me it's OK to take Xanax.
Right now I'm just feeling very confused about what his current intentions for me are. Does he think that taking Xanax is a "wrong" idea?
I'm beginning to feel badly about taking the medication, due to the general attitude I know is held by medical practitioners, the benzo's should be avoided. Plus, I don't know what my doctor now thinks. I know he isn't totally against them, since he allowed me to use them daily for so long.
I guess I'm just looking for some validation, that taking a medication that helps my condition is not a horrible choice, if that's what I choose to do.
If I were speaking directly to him in person I would be OK bringing up this concern of mine. But I'm just leaving a message with a nurse. He may personally call me, or not, but even if he did, I'm not about to have a conversation about a touchy subject over the phone.
Soo.... I don't know what will come of this...
