Hep c and xanax half-life

[crazyhorse1660]

I have just started taking Xanax .5mg. I used to take it quite awhile ago.
Ive noticed that(and im finding it hard to believe) that the effects stay with me for more then 1 day!
I cannot take it as prescribed or I will be a zombie.

My question is, can Hep C prolong the half-life of this drug to the point of only being able to take one dose a day?

Some people have a very low tolerance to drugs, I take 3 10mg valium a day, and no problems. Talk to your Doc but I slowed down the last couple weeks and only take them when I start to stress. the least amount of drugs through the liver the better,(but I believe xanax is eliminated through the kidneys not the liver so is better than valium)

Maybe your liver isn't filtering it out as efficiently if you have a ton of liver damage?

I haven't ever heard of anything like this, I would think that the doctors would caution us IMMEDIATELY on something like this - if drugs were acting that way they could very well be toxic even in small amounts...but just because I haven't heard of it doesn't make it not possible.

Hope you get a "real" answer.
