my husband has been taking 5mg of xanax for a while now i found out the other day that he is taking 3 or 4 pills of 5mg a day he has been getting mean and then every emotional. is he taking to much or could there be something else.
Hi weirmom13, xanax doesn't come in a 5mg tablet, he is probably taking .5mg tabs.
If he is taking up to 2mg a day and has been for a while he is in for a pretty tough withdrawal. This is a drug that should by no means be stopped cold turkey, you have to tapper off it slowly. Xanax is fine for situational anxiety but that's it. Here is the address to a site that has a huge amount of information about xanax, they will answer any questions you have. http://benzoisland.org/index.html
