I can answer that Do is Doctor of Osteopath who can prescribe, NP is Nurse Practicitoner they also prescribe meds and PA is physicians's Assistance also can prescribe meds. My own take on this is in the 35 years of my own benzo use which by the way was always prescribed by a pdoc and his idea I've never taken nor wanted more than 2mg of xanax. And I've switched from short to longacting without a problem. The only problem I've had is that klonopin immediately made me feel suicidal. And just recently I dropped a pdoc as he prescribed too high of a dose of benzos for me specifically xanax so back on the longer acting valium and cutting down. Contrary to what you read I cut 5mg at a time without any side effects. No withdrawal. So the less I take when life is going well the better I feel. It's the ad's that kick my butt. I've never done well or felt well on them. As most of the serotonin is in our gut how can they help our brain? At least Gaba is in the brain? And xanax has mild antidepressives properties. I stopped it as it was making me tired. Never ever has a benzo made me feel high. Just sleepy or relaxed. Love Phillipa
