  1. I rather like your doctor.

    I use Xanax but only for flying. It's a party in the sky, that's for sure;).

  2. he's convinced the government hates xanax because they haven't figured out how to tax it like alcohol. i don't use xanax for much of anything, all told, but i like to know where we stand on these things.

  3. Xanax is great except it makes me fall asleep immediately. Like, within 5 minutes of swallowing it, no matter where I am. Apparently this isn't standard, so my doctor's theory is that I'm sleep deprived and just waiting for something to force me to stop thinking so much.

  4. I thought that American doctors would prescribe you anything that you pay for? I figured that was the trade off for privatised healthcare.
