On .125mg of xanax once a day daily
Does this low amount require tapering off?
Hi.i would taper down any amount as cold turkey is hell,anxiety alongside I've said before if you think you've been going mad in the past times it by ten it's unbearable I've done this twice and can't even describe it. Please please go to doc.will give you even to taper but you have to be strict and not give in or your back to start. Doc may prescribe something else. Or better meds but please go. If your asking this question that's good but you need docs professional advice he sees this all the time.good luck
Meant to say it minght seem a small amount but everyday your bodies still going to get a shock when it gets none. Then mind games kick in❤️
That's the thing I went to my GP yesterday and he said I can stop could turkey whenever I want
I brought up seizures and he said that wouldn't happen unless I was at a high dosage
Wow.hes medically trained so try it but at the first sight of nausea runs insomnia burning stomach headaches sneezing and excessive yawning gat straight to docs your anxiety will also b through the roof heart racing like mad.if I feel relatively ok and I hope you do could b cos of your small dose also differs on fitness age etc. I'm 8 stone girl .16 stone guy may do better. Don't worry all may b ok and don't panic if the gluey things I mentioned set in doc will help.keep hydrated. Hope you sail through it.
Yeah even the thought of doing that freaks me out
MAkes me depressed
How much were you to taking
Was on the max daily amount but only for last 2 months started hardly anything but it helped relax so of course ups it. Doc told me this was a small amount still but I should have taken as needed not every day. Don't b scared. May b ok and if skinny petrified little me can do it so can you whatever you decide keep talking maybe u not ready . Maybe it's best for your health Ivan only say what I've been through.your doc will know what's best for your health at this stage. Wish I could help more.know what it's like not knowing what to do for best❤️
I think it really depends on how long you've been on it and how well you're currently managing your anxieties. If its been a short period of time, I think it'll be okay to stop but it won't hurt to still taper off. I would cut that in half for a few days, maybe even a week and then try just taking it every other day. I personally don't like stopping anything suddenly. I'm very sensitive to medication so I do whatever I can to avoid shocking my body.
I've been on it for about 4 months now
The general disclaimer is that everyone is different, heres my experience:
I was taking 0.5 mg Ativan for about 3-4 weeks. I was then switched to an equivalent dose of Xanax, 0.25 mg, which I took for another 2 weeks. I took these every single night before bed, and occasionally during the day (probably once every week or 2 I would need the extra daily one).
One day I felt like I didn't need them anymore, so I didn't take them. That was about a month ago and I didn't experience anything noticeable when I stopped.
