My doctor don't give me alprazolam anymore, i get seizures multiple times as a result of withdrawals, Specially before and after waking up. I get cold sweat, short breath and my heart beats fast it lasts a while and it affects me bad. Why are doctors like this?

He didn't slowly taper you off of it by slowly lowering the dosage, assuming that is standard procedure? (I have always avoided drugs so my knowledge is very basic.)

Used to be doctors handed stuff out like crazy. Now I think some have went from one extreme to the other.

I wasn't even on a high dose just enough to sleep and manage my stress now I'm not only anxious and sleepless but having seizures all the time

Doctors can be so fucking incompetent. I'm so sorry you're going through this. So many docs are just there for the pay and couldn't care less about the actual well-being of their patients. I hope you can get everything worked out love ❤️

Yeah, that's the standard procedure. This doctor's behavior is unethical & unprofessional.

Reason is; doctors are scared of lawsuits and losing their license to practice. The "good news" is, jail nurses will give you all the alprazolam you'd ever want. I speak from experience. All ya gotta do is, get arrested, then say to the jail nurse you are in withdrawal and prone to seizures. Presto. But, they will bill you for that. When I was released, I got hit with a $160 charge for a 30 day Ativan supply.

Edit; Xanax is not same as Lorazepam. Sorry.

actually i got arrested for refusing to go to the ER after being brutally assaulted. Cops gave me 2 choices. Seek medical attention or go to jail. And I chose jail. I guess. I blacked out in the back of their patrol car so I really can't say which. But I do know, I was administered Ativan in jail because i might have a seizure if not
