Re: whats proper medicine for me? trouble getting to sleep and sleeping too long after xanax xr quit
Ask your psychiatrist about anxiety. If you truly want to solve your
sleeping difficulties, be honest with your psychiatrist about everything and
tell her about your posting this message here. Give her a copy of the
question you asked here. I know this may be difficult, but it is for the
best. I hope you solve this problem. Best wishes!
