just wondering if anybody is on as high a dose daily as 8mg a day (2mg 4x daily) just temporarily due to grief over loss of my mom and stress over finances but anticipate going back down to my therapeutic level of 6mg 3x daily... just having a real hard time coping with my stress level.
thanks for letting me share |

wow! that seems like such a high dose. I take .5 mg twice a day, if I take more than that you can't wake me up the next morning. but we all have our different tolerance levels...just letting you know where I am at. ..... Sorry about your mom. That is just awful, I wish for some peace coming your way.

back in 1999 -2000 or so I was high dose 2mg 3 or 4 times/day but now I seldom use it in the daytime and just need it for sleep
It can be very addictive but it has not been a problem for me

yea i'm only going to be on 8mg / day (2mg 4x daily) for a month to get me over this rough month of stressors that I need to be able to be calm and focused to get things done and handle of all things mothers day without resorting to getting ****-faced drunk. the whole weekend will blow no matter how much I try and remember the good times I had with my mom. I have no family now its just me... no relatives either. at least I got some good friends but most of them I know in person live in phoenix which I am going back to next summer when I get off probation for a dui (my own dumb ***) that put me on three year's probation, DUI classes, AA attendance (and i'm not a 12 stepper) so I do online aa meetings, 10 days in the clink june of 2012, major court fines... I just have two more classes this month, will have court fines paid off in july and then I can save up for the moving expenses i'll need for the move next summer. but after this month the stressors will be over and done with.
just glad spring is here so I can start riding my bmx bike and getting rid of some excess weight the zyprexa and over-eating this winter has done to me. "you don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing" - a sign by the city park much peace
