Question:

Got my celexa for 20.00 =40mg, then got my 2 orders of xanax for 20 dollars. .5mgs and .25mgs.  So i can make those combinations like .625mgs. this is about my 6 day of stepping down on xanax and have had no problems.  I will step down another .125mgs in about 3 weeks. donny

Way to go, donny!  :)  The slower the better in stepping down from Xanax!!! ((((((((HUGS)))))))) Love, Katie — "A word to the wise ain’t necessary.  It’s the stupid who need the advice." —Will Rogers Before you buy.

I would have to say the meds haven’t affected our sex life near as much as the PTSD has.  It was really rough sometimes because of the ’suffocation’ effect that fast breathing gives you…since my accident was breathing related, it made an impact. But med wise, I would say no…we manage more than once a week~!  LOL – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Is that all of your monthly meds? I envy you…let’s see…ours was horrible before the anxiety, but now it is worse. I have singulair, allegra,  and prevacid maintenance medications (at $15 each) then I have to buy a steroid inhaler (Azmacort) and my rescue inhalers…oh and those irritating nasal spray things (Nasacort) for my sinuses (THOSE are expensive!) Now, even though I don’t have to pay for my anxiety meds because the work comp thing, but still it looks like a medicine store when I go to reload my stupid daily pill thing: Paxil   60mg Effexor  75mg Xanax   .5 mg (but only when needed) Before work comp picked up this bill on those meds, we were having a BIG problem! And you have to remember Wes’ isn’t covered by work comp, so we have the same problem there Paxil Ativan (being weaned off of) Buspar And his singulair and allegra (we share a lot because it is cheaper…!) He also has a DIFFERENT steroid inhaler and sinus sniffer than I do, so we can’t share those LOL I HATE having to spend so much on meds all the time…. R hi robin you are taking alot of paxil.  Does it bother you sexually.  I took 50mgs.  then switched to celexa. donny

hey, good luck with the stepping down of xanax. hope it works for you! I had been stepping down on 2 of my 3 meds for about a year….but now am back where I started….maybe more so too. Sometimes I try to take less too. (but then I have ‘extra’ pills….no good…I’m likely to take them all when I don’t feel well). My genious dr. had me increase my prescription of imipramine last week, but then called in the re-fill under the original dosage?!?! what the……? You know if you go to the pharmacy 1 day before your ’supposed’ to be out, they won’t refill you!! take care, -Z-

<snipped You know if you go to the pharmacy 1 day before your ’supposed’ to be out, they won’t refill you!!

Yup, my insurance company will not allow it filled any earlier. I always worry if there was some kind of situation where I couldn`t get my meds for a few days(like a hurricane), what would I do. I have a small stash of Paxil, only because I take 15mgs instead of 20mgs, but I can`t make a stash with my thryoid meds. I need to take the dose prescribed every single day. I find it very annoying and it is the insurance companies doing. Take care Jackie
