Just remembered the time I almost became a Xanax addict

I remember telling a Dr sometime ago that I was feeling burnout, insomnia, and anxiety… with tears and all. He prescribed Xanax! 25 year old me then was foolish enough to take it, but it worked well. He only gave me 3 pills, to take half a pill a day.

When the medication finished, I tried to look for the same Dr, but he wasn’t in. So, I went to a different clinic. That Dr was alarmed and wanted to report the first Dr, saying they can’t simply prescribe Xanax without a proper consultation.

It’s crazy to think that I almost put that Dr out of his profession, or worse, made myself dependent on Xanax. He looked depressed at that time, and I sometimes wondered if he was going through something too. I used to see him regularly at the clinic (for other reasons or just passing by), but after the Xanax incident, I never saw him again. I hope he is doing okay.
