Answers:
you need to get a second opinion.... i have been told that xnax can be habbit forming.... if you have all of these things going on I am not sure why they are weaning you from the xanax...

this past year I had major lung surgery.... ( non smoker here)
they cracked my ribs to get to my left lung to remove parts of it... plus the cut from the middle of my back all round the front under my breast.... i was in alot of pain....

but i took control of that... i was taking oxy coden... i was suppose to take 30 mgs twice a day.. but was not working. so i got it ok to take 40 mg twice a day.... well I was getting oxy from three dr.. and came addicted to it.. i was taking 120 mg in the morning.. and through out the day would pop another mg tab here and there... then at night time take another 120-130 mg...

i was a total mess. when i was out.. i new i needed help.. so they weened me off the oxy and gave me xanax.. they told me it was addicting... so i had to be careful... well i have been drug free for over a month now... anyways... my point is...

i would ask if you can stay on the xanax.. if you have anxiety and bi polar then I would think you would need the drug....

i can see how it can become addicting...man when i was on xanax I was taking 8 mg at a time....

well good luck and i would get another opinion.

it doesnt sound like your bipolar. bipolar is when ur happy one minute and depressed the next. you can google up "bipolar symptoms" and see how many of them you have.
