Anxiety
"Until yesterday, I was prescribed .5 mg. Alprazolam(xanax) for panic, anxiety and irregular sleep patterns.  I took them for four years.
I went to my psychiatrist yesterday for my monthly suboxone appointment(6 yrs).  The same psychiatrist who prescribed my .5 mg.xanax.  
I am taking suboxone for chronic pain issues from a MVA.  I had been on prescription oxycontin 60 mg, 2x&#039;s/d for 11 yrs. and that doctor retired...no doctor would prescribe a full opiate agonist and that was 5yrs. ago.  
So I was told yesterday that he could no longer prescribed both xanax and suboxone due to state and federal guidelines.  This type of inappropriate prescribing is outrageous.
Has anyone else come up against this? 
I never abused either medications."
