Stress and depression are my worst enemies. I sleep a lot as an escape and food just isn’t interesting. Talk to your pulmonologist about it. He gave me lorazepam. I take 1/2 of a 5mg pill. It helps.
My PA wants me to get off Xanax because she said it’s too addictive and switch to Lexapro. I find the Xanax to be a great deal of help with my anxiety and do not want to switch. Could someone give me their thoughts?
My Dr. changes mine every so often. Just because they can be additive and you get used to them and need more. A switch is good once in a while. The Dr will work with you if it's not woking try… read more
