Candy:

I have a script for .5 mg ONCE a day, to take in halves. I think the reason mine knock me on my butt at first is because of the combination of it and Prozac. It still relaxes me quite alot. Ofcourse, in times of panic I've had to take a whole extra one (this is full blown panic attacks) and discussed with my doc about being short one last month, so you would think they would allow extras for times of extreme stress, like you're in now. Like I'm in when I'm in a panic attack.

If it's not helping at .5 mg. X 2 per day, then definitely discuss it with your doctor. What's the sense in taking a med that is not working. You could discuss changing meds or perhaps upping the dosage of Xanax. I know some folks who take 2.0 mg. twice a day with some results and some have no results.
