Hmmm, no offense OP, but I don't see this turning out very well. I wouldn't get a refill if I were you. If you have an addictive personality, it's smart to stay far away from benzos. That's not an addiction you want. You think you have anxiety now? It will be 10x worse if you develop a benzo addiction and want to stop.
My doctor prescribes me 2mg a day. It's like they want you to become dependent. I told her I only take maybe 2 a week and she still gives me 60/month.

How have the Xanax worked for you so far? My former GP had me on a cocktail of drugs to deal with Cyclothymia and Anxiety. I was taking about 3-4 pills per day depending. I got so sick of it, I quit everything with the Cymbalta giving me the worst withdrawals ever (I later learned you're not supposed to just quit them cold turkey but what's done is done.)
Recently the anxiety has reached epic levels; waking up every morning with feelings of dread, panic attacks, having to talk myself down a lot and I just can't deal. I thought if I exercised, ate better, and quit drinking completely (no more weekend drinks) it would not be so bad and while I'm sure it could be A LOT worse it's still a pain in the ass. Maybe Xanax would help?
Have an appointment with a psych in a couple of weeks. So here's hoping he can help me come up with a drug-free solution.

dionysiandane, If it is very bad, I would say an SSRI medication would work best for you. Go to a good doctor who isn't all about shoving drugs down your throat (hard to find) and they will get you on the right track. Keep up the exercise, diet and no drugs/drinking thing. Over time it should cure you of most of your anxiety. That's the only thing that truly healed me. I feel like the SSRI (zoloft) helped kick start my feeling good. Benzos were always just a crutch. NEVER an ultimate solution. It may take a long time to feel better, but if you keep up with a healthy life, you will get better.

It's true. Every day that you overcome anxiety and do things like exercise and eat healthy you are working towards a better you, even when that seems far off.
The most important thing to keep in mind, even though you struggle and have difficulty with certain things, there's nothing wrong with you. You're not alone in your struggles and it does get easier, even if life never gets quite easy. It's perfectly fine to be a nervous wreck sometimes, and don't let anyone make you think otherwise.
I know this sounds obvious, but since I need to remind myself sometimes: take deep breaths. When you're panicking and losing control, make yourself slow down, breathe deeply in and out, and just relax. That does help, it is scientifically proven just like xanax, only it is something that you can grow and develop rather than become tolerant and addicted. It won't fix everything, but it will help you get through the worst, and the more practice you get the better you will be able to cope.

I think the more aware you are in life, the more you've got to be able to deal with suffering. It's very sad to see people unable to deal with their own demons, but there are tools available other than addictive drugs.
Most of the people I know who have been treated with benzos successfully did not have previous addiction, were usually hospitalized at one point because of panic attacks, and aggressively worked the system with benzos being the smallest aspect of their treatment. They needed it to work, unlike someone who wants less anxiety but also still kinda wants to get high. There's a clear difference between these people and those taking them to get fucked up in my opinion. Benzos should be an absolute last resort, like you think you're dying panic.
Usually I'm even surprised to find out some people are on something like xanax, they just handle it totally differently.

Im just curious, op do you think that maybe possibly your recent anxiety has been brought on as result of your drug abuse? From your posts i know you abused a hella amount of benzos, maybe that is what has come to cause your anxiety.... So anxiety brought on by drug abuse, lets treat it with the same drugs that caused it in the first place. I hate that rational..

That sounds like suicide to me, or maybe auto-erotic asphyxiation gone awry. Both of those things occur in the non-benzo using population. As everyone around here says, "correlation is not causation".
But I agree with the underlying sentiment: this thread is fail. Given sancho's medical history, I can't believe a doctor prescribed him benzos. Either the doc didnt look into his records or sancho misrepresented them.
I do like the arc of this thread though. Page 1: "just going to use these for anxiety emergencies". Page 3: "i atee almst all te xannnax, lol".

Yeah this dude's got a problem that more narcotics aren't going to solve. Been there and heard it all before but until I actually tried to reduce my anxiety without drugs, it was a joke to me. Working on yourself helps in the long run while diazepines are only good for the short term, unless you're planning on suicide anyway. If he hasn't lost most of his friends yet, it's sure to come.

Don't I know it. My GP was a nice enough guy but he essentially drew a diagram of drugs on a piece of paper and said "pick what you want." I ended up leaving one visit with two paper bags FULL OF drugs. I ended up giving the rest of them away to coworkers.
I've been incorporating more yoga into my weekly routine and will try to start a regular meditation practice soon. I'll talk to the psych about an SSRI if drugs come up in the convo.

Doctors are usually the problem here, handing scripts out like candy. I asked my doctor for a refill on my xanax and he said no, that it was only a temporary solution to my current situation and then referred me to a psychologist. There should be more doctors like this. I really should thank him for that.

Most doctors are that way. My psych only said two weeks.
I did what OP did a couple years back and blew through my ativan script in one day. My mom ended up telling my doc I was doing this and he took my sript away. I thank her for that benzo addiction is gross and you don't even feel good from it.

If that ain't the truth. When I saw a psychiatrist, she had me (daily) on 3 mg of klonopin, 300 mg of zoloft, 300 mg of seroquel, 150 mg of lamictal, 6.25 tablets of Ambien (allowed up to 2 at a time), and one other drug I can't remember. I quit that shit cold turkey and it was the worst 6 weeks of my life, but I felt 5000% better after I stopped taking all that shit.
The cunt even had the nerve to throw a box of seroquel at me then make another appointment.

Propranolol is a beta-blocker, and one of the most commonly prescribed for anxiety.
