> Paul officially up to 2mg twice a day. The half-life of Xanax is very short however and I think this should be 3 times a day. Sometimes I take more than the dose prescribed, sometimes less. Aren't you in NZ too? Are you having difficulty getting a prescription for it?
> FredHi Fred,
Thanks for your reply, i wasn't sure you would, as i didn't wish you to think i was being insensitive, and like you i have been through the panic disorders which came on suddenly before i turned 18-i had no idea what it was, just thought i was losing it. I put up with it, and had no treatment for years, while i existed in my private torment.
Yes i live in NZ.
Apparently according to an ex UK specialist i was seeing, Xanax is rarely used in NZ, and very rarely back in his country.
I first was given it 4 years ago, at .25mcg 3x day, and .5mcgs had a very strong psychic pain killing/uplifting effect, without the sedation of Diazepam, i took it for a few weeks.
I am not having difficulty getting a script for it ATM, the specialist i saw a couple months ago was open to my suggestions, and he scripted up to 3mgs daily.
It doesn't work as well as it used to, but thats due to the other Benzos i'v taken over the last few years.
Cheers
