Something like Xanax that can be taken long-term?

Post by amnesia »

Whenever I take a Xanax for a long flight, my frequency and tickling/itching issues will be better for the next 2-3 days. Now I don't want to take Xanax every other day (and understand I shouldn't), but is there anything similar that can be taken long-term? I had a look at Amitriptyline but even that shouldn't be taken long-term I understand.

Also, what's the risk of not being able to pee on these drugs? I see they all list that as a potential side-effect, and I guess it's what's making the frequency better after all. I just don't wanna end up in the ER and get a catheter because I'm unable to pee.

You could try Valium (diazepam), which unlike Xanax (alprazolam) is long acting, and take it every 4 or 5 days. Retention risk very low.
Good News! The great ProstaQ is BACK at last! You must try it.
