Medication

[William Booth Haynie III]

Have been on Xanax for anxiety and PTSD since 2004. Now the VA says it's not meant for long term use? And they're taking it away.

I hear you bro.

I believe Xanax is considered an opioid, and the VA has reduced the usage of opioids considerably, like 50% over the last couple of years. You probably will be reviewed as a potential candidate for a change. By the way, I noticed that Xanax can cause erectile dysfunction(ED). If that includes you and since it is prescribed by the VA, you should consider a claim for SMC(k); pays out an extra $111.00 a month.
