To James K,
Thank you for your advice.
My experience today with the Pysc- Doc has helped make my decision NOT to get involved any deeper with this State -Agency. I am quite capable of slooooowly tapering off Xanax, by myself.
As to the alcohol...I have already decided that it is not for me anymore. If any symptoms of withdrawl appear over the next few days or week...I will handle it.
Much of what you posted was sooooooo true.
The "Doctor" today was as cold and mechanical as the Counselor last week.
After about 15 minutes she made a statement that I would be hard to treat because, and I quote"...you already know everything...."??????? What kind of assesment is that to make on someone's first visit? If I am not mistaken, there is such a thing as developing a certain trust and confidence level with your patient.I have done my share of counseling others...so I am a bit uncomfortable on the "other" side of the Desk so to speak....I admit that. But these people are so un feeling and all-business...how in the world do they expect someome to turn over their life and to them?????????????? She actually wanted me to immedietely STOP seeing my Primary Care Physician...and sign oveer to HER the control and dispensing of all future Medications!!! Was she crazy????^%#$%@$%#^ LOL
Pardon the unintended pun.Anyways...thanks again.
BF
