I have been on Xanax for years. If he is giving you 2mg twice a day that's too much. if it is 2 mg with one 1mg pill twice not so bad but still strong for a person new to it. I would just take a 1/2 til you talk to your Dr. and yes they do wear off it just sounds like he is giving you too much the .50 would work good for you. I used to overdo and took 6 mgs throughout the day I brought my self down to 1 1/2 mg a day and do great/ They are very addicting the more you take the more you need

Been on xanax 16 years 2mg a day for panic attacks after a while no side effects are noticed I work drive and do everything . But xanax bars are too much that's 4 mg a day you will sleep it must be a mistake in dosage talk to the pharmacy of your choice

hi... i was given xanax 2mg per night.I only took them until i was stable... about two Weeks..(The doctor also suggest to stop the medication n try to cope on my own bec he said it can be additive.) after that i started finding out the root of the problem.
You must have gone thru something serious to have given such high dosage. Stress can cause this chemical in-balance in us. Once we stable it with medication we need to try to get to root of the problem with the help of a counsellor.
I realise i need social skill n need to change my mind set. From a emotional person i need to become a thinking person.
If can ask someone close to help look after your children for two to three days so you can take the medication to stabilise yourself.But don't expect fast result... Everything will get better in time.Give yourself positive affirmation n try to do at least 20 mins of breathing exercise everyday.
I wish you all the best , god bless you!!!

Try taking your full dose about the time your kids go to sleep for the night. Better to find out during your "off hours" how you will react to this dose of medication. If you have further questions or concerns your best source of information is from your Dr. or pharmacist.

I think its smart that you are not taking the prescribed dose. It seems your doctor is trying to get you hooked. 1mg is very sufficient for anxiety. I would say 2 mg if you just went through some severe circumstance like a death in the immediate family.

You need to talk to your doctor. You shouldn't change the dosage and if they make you unable to be alert you may want a different medication. Talk to the doc.

they will wear off and they do work but be careful because they can be addictive and can be very hard to get off of them
