Does Gradual Intake Of Xanex Bring Relief To Anxiety?
I have a horrible problem with anxiety. I have been DX w/ Acute anxiety, acute PTSD, and mod-severe depression. I see the anxiety for sure and it has gotten extreme to the point of panic attacks. And I have even recognized the PTSD, I'm not sure of the depression. My question is I am on buspar 10mg BID and Xanex .50mg TID When I had my panic attack I had to take 3.5 mg of the Xanex for it to stop. I didn't take it all at once...gradually until I found relief. Is this normal? And how should I approach it with my psych Dr at my next appt. I just don't think the dosing is high enough for me.

Hello
Xanax can bring relief to anxiety but the problem is of dependance. So it should be used sparingly . buspar is good but dose may need to be raised to 30 Mg. Main drug is SSRI which should be started . During panic attack, make sure you breathe through your nose, not mouth and as slow as possible.
