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.
Age: 36 | Onset Age: 36 | Symptoms: Discharge (sticky and clear/offwhite); frequent need to pee, often caused by feeling of tickle / itch / burn / pressure in penis; sometimes dull ache in testicles | Helped By: not sure yet | Worsened By: catastrophic thinking, worrying things will get worse, feeling depressed, reading websites too often | Other comments: Happened after unprotected sex, initial STI likely | Details here: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=9139

You could try Valium (diazepam), which unlike Xanax (alprazolam) is long acting, and take it every 4 or 5 days. Retention risk very low.
