I take 1.5 - 1.75 xanax daily and was on 3mg. a year ago. I feel that I need it for my quality of life. I have been on xanax for over 20 years and am not about to just stop it at this time.
Val> I have panic disorder and depression. I'm taking 0.75 mg Klonopin and 150 mg Wellbutrin, and 5 mg (that's right) of Prozac. 300 mg of Wellbutrin gave me intensely fearful periods during the day. Frankly, my meds aren't doing much good at all-I'm still depressed and anxious. But here's the question: if I take 1 mg of Xanax at about 6 PM, the next day I feel vastely better-almost happy. My doc is fine with me taking the Xanax, so that's not a problem. I just wonder if it's worth the dependence to feel much better and if I have reason to believe it would continue to work. 1.75 mg of benzos a day seems a lot to me. 0.5 mg doesn't work the same way at all. Any thoughts on this question or alternative ideas? Thanks.
