My doctor won't let me have anything but xnax and it doesn't help. I have a 55 yr. old daughter who lives with me and won't get help and a 28 year old granddaughter whos on drugs and I have her 9yr. old who I have custody of and a 17 month old who I have most of the time. I'm 71 and my husband is 77. Why would it hurt to change from xanax which doesn't work to take something I've taken before. Prozac/Librium?

What happens so often over the years is that a person developps a tolerance to a medication and ''needs'' a higher dosage of it in order to have the same ''effect'' your doctor by changing you to xanax is trying in my oppinion to weave you off the librium by prescribe you xanax wich by the way is in the same familly as librium its a benzodiazepine.

The trouble with these is they are highly addictive and usualy prescribe for a short term basis.

Unless prescribe otherwise...addiction to these is on the rise and doctors should be more carefull prescibing them.

Hopefully this was of some help
