I need some clarity..

.25 Xanax doesn't do much for me.. Is it possible it's just the low dose?

I'm hoping that Xanax will work for me.. I don't go til tomorrow to the psychiatrist but I'm starting to get scared that nothing will help me.

That's around 5mgs of Valium. Same equivalent. (Xanax isn't so popular in Britain)

Yeah that's a mid to low dose. I needed around 10mg of Valium to feel relief, which is around .5 of Xanax.

Have you taken .5 before? If so, how did you feel?

I haven't tried .50 yet.. Was going to today but my mom told me to just take my one .25 & wait to see what my psychiatrist says tomorrow..

[BrookeLynnnn]

I have a hard time leaving the house.. I do but hardly & I'm freaked the entire time so I'm hoping a higher dose of xanax will help me.

[jessed03]

Is that what I just got = to 500mcg?

Yep :) ........

Your mum is probably right. Benzos can be addictive, so, good to get the right help with them. Mums and their common sense, right!

People go up and up and up on them if need be. Chances are you'll find something that works. Not that I recommend it at all for you, you don't need it, but some people get prescribed 2mg of Xanax. Something is always gonna be there if you need it. Benzos can be quite comforting just knowing that, without ever needing to take that high dose. There's still a high ceiling of places you can go even if your anxiety is the worst of the worst of the worst, so don't feel trapped :)

Getting into therapy will help. If you stress yourself out a lot, all the Xanax does is undoes a some of that stress. Works way better when you can use some mental techniques to go with it.

I bet you $10 when you get into therapy you make progress really quickly. I bet!!

Yea she's so worried about the addictive part of the Xanax!! But yea it is comforting knowing that you have something with you that can take the panic away..

I'm really excited to see a psychiatrist tomorrow!

I. Sorry Brooke, but I can't ever let Jesse place a bet without betting against him. It's ongoing.

I'll take that $10 bet and bet she doesn't.

Kidding Brooke. You will be good

Hahahaha well thanks! :)

It's 3am here so Xanax does not make me sleep anyway. Had it at 6pm!

If you weren't on the run, Frankie

I would tell you to move here because you operate on my time

[NixonRulz]

No can do....your wife would be suspicious of me then rather than calling you a liar! :)

Hahahahahaha. Touché
