In reply to Cut .5mg Xanax From l.5mg and No withdrawal why?, posted by Phillipa on May 8, 2010, at 13:07:15
That just shows you how little meds might actually be doing even after when you are convinced they have an effect.
Have you ever stopped Xanax or tried to in 40 years? What was the lowest dose you got to?
I think alot could be related to the placebo effect. Probably after 40 years the effect is minimal anyway.
But you know I'm always trying new meds and not settling for a half way response as I have to be really functional if I want to work again. There is no room for marginal performance with any job today. Too much pressure to kick you out on your *ss if you don't have what it takes.
What are your daily symptoms that you take meds for?
YOu could just hold the dose at 1 mg and leave it at that. One day when you feel braver you could reduce to 0.75, just to see what happens.
There are so many variables related to meds that it's nice that you were able to reduce the dose and have nothing happen. It could be different in a few days too.
Good luck with surgery...
