Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve been prescribed and take between 1mg-3mg per day of xanax, depending on how bad my anxiety is or if I have a serious attack, which is the reason I was prescribed it. I m currently in a pre-trial program due to some silly trouble-mistake I made over a year ago and my pti officer is forcing me to stop my prescription and I get a urine test weekly... I went to a detox program for a week, but want to make sure I know to inform her if I may still test positive even though I haven t taken it since I heard that xanax takes a lot longer to be out of your system compared to other medications, esp. if I ve been taking it regularly for about a year.
Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Medicines are the best options to take care of these symptoms. Paroxetine is the the most popular medicine and my drug of choice. I generally prescribe my patients 12.5 mg per day at night which takes care of anxiety symptoms. Also certain medicines like propranolol and clonazepam can be give as required when there is a panic episode or expected situation where panic attack can appear. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
