He has me taking 2mg 4 times a day. I used to be so outgoing and loved life. Now I stay inside all the time and feel "dazed" at times. This is not the life I want.

the last answer is obviously from someone(tomcat) who has neither the knowledge or comprehension to understand what you are talking about. 6 mg a day is about the average for Xanax some people are on much higher doses. I take 12 mg a day and lead a normal life have been like this for 20 years. There is however a BIG difference if you are using generic Xanax, I have found that it does not work well for me at all. There is also a XR Xanax which works well too. Don't give up you will find the right meds and or dose , just keep trying

On the advise of my doctor I only take 0.5 mg twice a day for anxiety. I also do meditation for about 1/2 hour a day. I do an hour if I can get it in. Breath in deep threw the nose for count of 5, then hold for 3 seconds, then release your breath threw the mouth another count of 5. Do this 3 times and relax. You can go to a book store and get meditation cd's and books on this subject of Anxiety. Good luck. Again get Doctor advise on dosage.

Meditate, look into Zen Buddhism, get out of your mind trap, seriously. Those meds, bezodiazapines, are very addictive and only cover up the symptoms. Trust me on this, I suffered from all kinds of anxziety and stress related issues for years, meditation and mindfulness is the only sure thing to be rid of it forever.

attempt taking one million.5 mg first. cut back between the only million mg tabs in 0.5. Sorry, did no longer study your edit. according to risk your physique is getting too used to the Xanax and you ought to attempt something else. 2 mg does look as though somewhat lots. i could tell your scientific professional.

You need YOUR doctor to talk to you about that.
