Prescribed too low dosage of Alprazolam (Xanax)
Hey all,
SWIM just got diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder and his doctor started him on .5mg up to 3 times a day of Alprazolam. SWIM scheduled an appointment to check up on it late next week. SWIM's doctor said that he is considering giving Paxil (paroxetine) in the future on top of the Alprazolam. SWIM would like to move up to a higher dose. He was given 30 x .5mg tablets for use over 10 days. Should SWIM tell his doctor that SWIM doesn't receive full relief until he takes 1.5mg per situation? Taking 1 really doesn't help SWIM at all and 2 is cutting it close. SWIM thinks his doctor is making sure SWIM has some pills left the next time he sees him. What should SWIM do to ramp up the Alprazolam dose and eliminate the possibility of getting an SSRI?
