I need help weening off xanax
Dec 01, 2009 06:03PM in the Mental Health Expert Forum
You are lucky you didn't hurt yourself badly in that accident...seizures are the direct result of going off the medication too quickly....I suggest you go to your family doctor, explain the situation, and ask for enough of a prescription to allow you to wean yourself...it will take three to four weeks.....first week, lowest dose daily...probably 1 mg or so; n...

Perpective is the name of the game...losing it and getting it back.

Ask your doctor about prozac, probably the best to avoid weight gain. None of the anitdepressants are known for causing seizures, but prozac has been around for a long time, and may be your safest bet, but you may want a bit more of a workup for seizures before starting any.
surgery and xanax

I think you are worrying about something that does not make any sense to worry about. If you take your xanax before midnight, you will still have a good high blood level ( the important fact) well into the next day, at which time your doctor will probably start you on your regular dose. You are better off complying with his request, it is meant to keep you as...
Adderall and Diabetes

adderall is a stimulant but is not know to effect blood sugar as far as I know, but you might want to double check that with the pharmacist who can look up this interaction in his system.
