Hopefully my new doc (who I meet tomorrow) will switch me back.

You need to find a new Pdoc. The lastest fad with newer docs is some paranoia about Dxing Xanax, one of the best benzodiazapines made. I can't take Ativan or Klonopin as they are depressive to me and effect my memory which xanax does not do. You can't make the doc give you a med that helps do what I do: Dump the Doc!
