I have taken Xanax for the most part of 4 years. I started with the same dosage I take now-0.5mg up to 3xs daily. Although, I think it depends on the person and how they react to certain meds including what other meds you are taking. Decreased caffeine and/or food intake causes the Xanax to affect me greater.

As far as Xanax, and not xanax-xr, yes it is, the largest in one dosage, .25 mg, .50 mg, 1 mg,......2 mg! This is used for more extreme cases of anxiety disorders, panic attacks, etc.

Don't take xanax to get high, all it will do is make you feel like dog ****. And its actually quit dangerous, too much and your heart can stop. Taking to much xanax isnt like smoking weed where you feel calm and more creative and just happy.

xanax comes in4 dosage strengths: 0.25mg, 0.05mg, 1mg and 2mg. As with all meds, the lowest dose should be prescribed first. The patient should be monitored for positive and negative effects of med. Also, a person's size and anxiety level may come into play when prescribing any medications.

yes it is a large dose. I guess it depends on your anxiety level, but it must be bad for a Dr to prescribe 2 mg xanax

Yes most people start with 0.25 or 0.05 milligrams Unless your doctor has a special reason for prescribing such a large dose

It is therapeutic. But only if prescribed for you.

No way. You can get over the counter sleeping pills for more than that. Even a "low" dose Paxil is 30mg.
