I started taking taking xanax on Thursday night and have been feeling better but today Saturday I feel very irritable I know that This is a common side effect but I was wondering how long before it fades I take .05 2x a day
Its this a SSRI? If so I'm on fluoxetine/prozec and I'm still this way at 4week but no where near as bad as before x
No xanax is an anti anxiety med
Within a week you will notice a difference. I take ativan 0.5 mg and it works pretty fast and last 6-8hrs.
I always felt sedated on anti anxiety meds so I can't comment x
What do you take rachel?
Iv been on fluoxetine for 4 weeks. Tried diazepam's x
So yould u say the irritability is normal cause I have to be honest its making me anxious thinking its messing me up sounds weird I know
Yes let it work don't fight it.. it does help alot.. those symptoms will go away hun.
Thank you I've never been good with taking medicine even more so when I'm in an anxiety crisis my thoughts are still bothering me some but I feel reassured now I was the dummy who thought if the one pill relaxed and calmed u down n that was it I didn't know it had to level in your system
They work fast but the symptoms your feeling are normal.. I get a Lil sleepy and anxious but it goes away. Try to relax and do breathing exercises.. it does help xx
I'm trying to lounge and relax but my husband thinks I should be up doing normal activities and push thru it
How long have u been on it??
It's because nobody that's been thru it don't understand what we deal with. I've been on ativan 0.5mg since end of sept. I take 10 mg of lexapro at night and a 25 mg beta blocker for my bp.
