Xanax .25 Mg At Bedtime
(Newest replies first)
Updated
I've been taking one .25 Xanax 3-4 times a week at bed time due to a staggered work schedule. This is going on 6 months now,it helps tremendously with sleep but I'm a bit concerned about how safe this is.Is such a small dose over many months anything I should worry about? Doc prescribed it to use on a limited 'as needed' basis. TIA for answers/opinions.

2 to 3 mg a day. The E.R. is not a Detox program. I knew what brought me there as it was a slow painful 2 week daily withdrawal process, similar to a storm. I had no idea this could even happen as Xanax can be a dangerous medicine. I told the Doctor why I felt I was there. After most of my medications were restored my vital signs returned. I almost died by being my own MD. Xanax can be poison, all Benzo's are dangerous.
How often and how much do you take these days? And why did you start up again after the week in the hospital?
Not well Paul. Switched to Ativan as I read they were Liz Taylor's favorite Benzo. Didn't take them as I still had a spare supply of Xanax. Then I just stopped, sick of it all. within two weeks I presented myself to the E.R. in near Death condition. The E.R. doctor was amazed. Spent a week in the Hospital getting restored and yes I still take them today.
So you still take it on a regular basis? Thirty years is a long time,have you ever tried to discontinue? If so,how did it go?
No there is no real problem but keep this in mind. When I first started with the exact dose due to a minor skin cancer surgery I was given a 10 day supply. Now 30 years later I get about 200 times that supply in any given month. While I don't take that much, the first Doctor told me years ago you will eventually become dependent to Xanax. He was right!
