I am on Anafranil for 13 days, until the 12 day I was taking 75mg per day in three doses, but today I have added one pill of 25mg in the morning, so I am taking 100mg at this moment.
Do you recommend me to up the dosage of Anafranil?Without trazodone I can't sleep.
About ludiomil, it is an antidepressant that inhibits the reuptake of the norepinephrine, and I have read that is very good for sleep, but you must wait until it kicks in.
The strategy is to stay in 12mg of Xanax xr, (but I will intent to reduce to 9mg), until the Anafranil begins to act, and then reduce the Xanax xr slowly to 4mg or 2mg per day. Like with paxil, that I only needed 2mg to be without anxiety. You must understand that I have been taking xanax since 1998 and I have developed a lot of tolerance to the drug.
I thank you very much your help, but we have different opinions.
I have the fear of the effect of high dosage of Xanax xr in my liver. But I have read that it hasen't develop hepatotoxicity. I have read is a drug that is prescribed to old men for its less accumulation, and even to patients with liver disorders cause it is easier metabolized.
Please read this document.

What's your opinion about high dosage of Xanax xr and the liver damage after read the document?
About to talk to the med, I will call by phone to him tomorrow, and let's see what says him.
