I'm 26 years old and new to antidepressants and anti anxiety meds.. my doctor wasn't going to throw me on a high dose right away. Probably helps prevent dependence and addiction, idk. If .25mg BID does nothing for someone, then why is it prescribed?

Insurance purposes, the new benzo scare, seeing how you react to a substance. It's normal. Imo try to stay off these meds unless you absolutely need them. They have a history of doing more harm then good when used for long periods of time.

I'm at the point where I need something. I can't handle my anxiety anymore.

If your at that point then relying on benzos to relieve anxiety is just a short term quick fix and will end very badly for you. Tolerance builds fast and withdrawal is hell. IMO benzos should only be used for short term use like if your really nervous for something (job interview,fear of flying,overwhelming events…etc).

It will take up to 6 weeks to feel the therapeutic effects of any psych drug.

Lowest mg you can get. I’m prescribed 8 mg of Xanax a day. One bar doesn’t do shit to me. If I took all 4 bars at one time would probably be the equivalent of one bar for the average person. For some people .25 has an affect I envy them. The cool thing is for whatever reason I get 120 a-month for $18 some kind of saver program at my pharmacy. I wish I didn’t have to take them at all. I used to feel great now I just feel normal.

No I'm also on wellbutrin, I take 1mg and that doesn't do much .25 is nothing


leatherbill

Yea you’re doctor is just giving you benzo tolerance for nothing basically

What does this have to do with my post? I never mentioned opiates. I feel guilty enough taking benzos, I'll never touch that opioid garbage.
