Re: Group Question about Celexa and Xanax/Bennie and Lyndi

[Guest guest]

Moderator Note: Christy, it would be prudent to continue to have Xanax

available, until the time comes when you know you are more secure with your

other medications and perhaps some CBT training. Lyndi

It could just be a multi-approach is the right thing. I will not be on

Xanax after tomorrow. I see my counselor tomorrow but not my doctor until

the 31st. Not sure if I am taking a big leap not asking for more Xanax and

hope the Celexia will do a bit of something on the first day. I don't see my

doctor until the last day of the month. I could hold out til Monday or I

could just call and ask today. This is something I will just have to think

about today because the only place I can turn if things go real sour over

the weekend if I do not ask is a clinic that is linked with the group my

doctor is in.
