> Jelly know what you mean as it didn't work for me either but the short acting does. So what will you do now? Love Phillipa
I have no idea. Just continue with the ineffective Xanax XR for the time being, at least a month. That's in accordance to what I was told by the nurse.I don't even know if my doctor was really told or understood. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't.
When I first called to leave the message, the LPN acted as if she was "placing the order". I can't even explain why I felt that was, I just did. I've called countless times for refills. This time seemed odd.
Plus, they are all controlled drugs! It's not something they handle lightly. Obviously an LPN doesn't have prescriptive authority, but maybe they are allowed to fax the electronic refill scripts. I'm not sure.
When she called back, it was clear that it was her suggestion to me to make an appointment next month if I haven't improved.
This doesn't seem like the actions or words of a doctor. In fact, they weren't. She wasn't even pretending to relay a message from him. She just informed me that things were staying as they were and the scripts could be picked up shortly.
I don't even want to make an appointment. I'm surprised that wasn't ordered, rather than an off-the-cuff suggestion.
I don't want to go in and ask for Xanax, because apparently I'm now being thought of as a drug-seeking addict. No thanks.
I've made the decision to drop all meds (there's a lot, for many conditions), because I don't feel like I have a doctor anymore.
