What Is LD50 For Prescribed Celexa And Xanax For Depression And Anxiety?

I was just prescribed Celexa and Xanax for depression and anxiety. I want to make sure that I am not taking too much of each individually or in combination with one another. Could you tell me the LD50 for Celexa and Xanax and any other dosing guidelines and things to avoid. Thank you.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

LD50 of escitalopram is 20mg/kg and xanas is 4000mg/kg. In that sense, you are safer drugs. Celexa dose range is 10 to 20mg per day and start from the basic minimum dose. In case of xanas, dose range is 0.5 to 24mg per day. Better to take them under supervision of psychiatrist and avoid any depressant with them.

Thanks
