Please respond. I have never taken it and it was just prescribed for me. I have taken other benzos but they don't help my extreme anxiety. Hoping this will.

I totally agree with buddah, there are too many people on these sites who literally dont have a f*****g clue what they are taking or talking about. Being on drugs for addiction is totally different than being on drugs for illness or disease; you will find that even we are on the exact same drugs but our dosages from high to low are very different. Like if you're a pain sufferer ive noticed ur dosages are far higher than an addicts. I read blogs of people taking 200mg of methadone daily for pain, im on 40 for addiction and also the people who are taking drugs like valium and dosing on 5mg why even come onto a drug addiction forum and waste real addicts time with pathetic questions like im scared to take 5mg to go on a plane. For gods sake why did u ask for it? 5 mg will not harm a fly and it's obvious ur not an addict and after ur flight u will not take it again. So stop writing silly blogs like will I die. Try taking valium for 15 yrs every day then come on these sites.

Nervous nae,
Absolutely although classic benzodiazepine class drugs work in a predictable way Xanax more then any other causes effects that some consider paradoxical causing its users to experience an increase in activity or agitation as opposed to the effects seen with Valium or Librium .

Good job, and I agree JayJay. Thats why I want to know about the new Harvoni treatment I am going to be starting this coming Tuesday with the mix of generic xanax, i mg tab 3 x daily, I have taken for 16 years? I don't want to use the Gabapentin the doc just prescribed. Tried it and awful headache, and can't have that-I have to be at work. Also I feel he is wanting to change to many things at one time. He is not my regular PCP, he is there for the Hep-C. I understand the Digoxin I have taken for years I will not be able to take so will take what he prescribed in place of that. But again, I tapered from 2 mg tabs 4 x daily myself, and thats good for now. Very sensitive system.

Some of us really have few options when it comes to these meds. I am an RN I also have a brain tumor that is causing full body tremors/shaking as well as seizures. The decision to try this med combo was not easy and I don't believe it's right for anyone to advise me or pronounce judgement on my treatment plan.

Infinitely Anxious Says:
Hey, Momz0r - No one wants to be on benzos cause they have anxiety, but some forms of anxiety need to be treated with meds, and for some people, benzo's are the only answer. So they accept, and try to deal with all the negative side effects that come with these meds, in hopes of living a normal life. And for people who have no other choice, sometimes it's not easy, especially when there's ignorant a**holes such as yourself here to voice their judgement and opinions on things they obviously don't fully understand. So thanks for your pity.

The usual directions from doctors is to take your prescribed valium pill 30 minutes before any medical procedure that you are having anxiety about. I know that it works; I'm one such person with phobias about needles!

I took five mg earlier today as I couldn't stop crying and panicking about returning to work. It has been a good six hours since then... Can I have taken another 1/2 (2.5mg) more at about 10:00pm tonight to keep it under control till I see a doctor tomorrow and get back on my sertraline?

Im on vyvanse 60mg once in the am, gabepantin 300 mg which i hardly hVe to take, clonidine, doxepin, lexapro, and was on adderral 20 mg at lunch n xanax .5 3 times a day i told her i felt like too much amphetamine making my anxiety worse so she took those away n up my xanax to 4 times a day...then 2mths later she quit prescribing xanax to patients due to arrests, overdoses, etc. N tried me on ativan which did nothing at all, now im trying to get use to valium 10 and so far it does really nothing at all jus makes me sleepy n i want to ask for xanax back so bad but i feel thats drug seeking and if i cant calm myself down i cant focus on school or my 3 mth old daughter.

Re: Buddu (# 37)
Her theory was a personal experience. One which I have also had. I suffered from anxiety attacks and took Xanax. Then got addicted because the more you take, the more the body gets used to your normal dosage. Then you have to increase it to get the effects. You end up increasing the dosage to a dangerous level where you risk overdosing. Benzos permanently change the chemistry of your brain. They make you think you need it to survive. So, getting off this can be very dangerous and life threatening. I’ve been through it. Once you start to depend on this drug, you are heading down a worse road than you originally are on. Her warning is justified.
