I hate to break it to ya hoss but unless you are a prison pharmacist you are gonna find that narcotics and anxiety meds are a majority of your business gross and margins

Only the well heeled can buy the high margin goods like cialis...symbicort...retin-a.....androgel....etc

My best pal owns pharmacies...they line up for oxy...hydro....alprazalam

Its just how it is

Legit scripts....you sell

Course now DEA. Nazis....they are not your pal as a pharmacist.....dole out dope

So you run out... they go to walgreens....monthly pain pill allotments per distributor

Which gives chains an advantage

The government could ruin a wet dream with Sofia Vergara...

Aging pop....in pain....spoiled menboys.....anxious if wifey will let them drive the Prius

God bless u....we need u.....but be patient

U will get played.... and tire of it

Alprazolam is given a bad rap by several things. Drunks who take it to enhance their drunk and Doctors who do not understand how to prescribe it to someone properly for long term every day use. IOW dumb recreational users. The drug is better known as Xanax to most. My wife is a 27 year user and I am a 17 year user of Xanax. .5 mg 3-4 times a day does the trick.

I can honestly say with 100% scientific accuracy that Xanax likely saved her life. Ativan did the rest. BENZO's to persons with legitimate need work great. There are several causes for anxiety including Neurological Damage and that is where the so called safer medications such as antidepressants can kill you and a lot of doctors will not even recognize what is happening. Most doctors treat Phobic Anxiety or emotional anxiety. They don't look for other causes a lot of times.

My wife is a quadriplegic. With that comes motor and sensory damage. I have life long sensory processing disorders originating in the Inner Ear and the portion of the brain the Inner Ear works with. Antidepressants specifially Zoloft and Trazodone put her into an Adverse Reaction called Serotonin Syndrome. Six Doctors including a Level one hospital ER in Knoxville and another ER both missed it. I diagnosed it a few days later by doing a search of her two antidepresant meds +adverse reaction. If she had not also been on Xanax with it would have likely killed her. During the episode which lasted five days she developed two brain bleeders as well and partial amnesia before it was over. BENZO's are the couter acting drug to Serotonin Syndrome.

Due to my neurological impairment I am a likely one for this to happen to as well. I have had onset of it before and tossed the meds. It took me two years to get a doctor to stop writing me antidepressants and give me Xanax.

The key to Xanax is low but consistent dosages. A half mg 3-4 times a day will suffice even for a 250 pound man. Without them? I have seizures. No the Xanax doesn't cause the seizures I had them before taking Xanax even the first time. The Xanax slows my sensory system and controls my Myoclonic Seizure Activity triggered by auditory and visual stimulation.

Slings and Arrows here is some advice for any males taking SSRI's. Any reduction in bladder flow the patient should call the doctor or better yet go to an ER. They can trigger a response called Dysreflexia. That is basically shock. It is a term usually used in describing persons such as quadriplegics who can not wiz. But it can also occur form a healthy patient taking a medication like Paxil. Been there, done that, wore Folley for two weeks. I was lucky because I knew what was happening to me due to caring for my wife and got my butt to the ER.
