Hello. Most antidepressants take time to reach their full effectiveness. Xanax, however, has an immediate effect, and can quickly result in increasing tolerances. It is also a powerful sedative, which could account for some of your symptoms. Have you asked your doctor about your concerns? Best wishes, GM

Hello. How much ativan were you on? 6mg of xanax is a high dose, and it can cause the symptoms you described. Were you on any other antidepressants previously? What is your specific diagnosis? Please advise, GM
