Currently 6, but as of Sunday it will be 5
 But then starting next week it could very well be 5-6 again after seeing my pdoc. Who knows? It's a lot, but its been keeping me stable so I guess it's ok. I did feel overmedicated which is part of why we're stopping 2 of my meds, but not the whole reason. (And yes, I know 6-2 is 4, but we added 1, so that's how I got to 5).

I put one because that's what I'm prescribed. Haven't taken it for about a week though so I guess technically zero...need to start again.

4 daily, Klonopin as needed, but I had a very serious disease that makes me very stressed out and anxious so most days I end up using that, too. The bottle says to take it twice a day but I try not to take it that often if I can help it.

I take Alprazolam (Xanax) 1MG up to 4 times daily, it's as needed. I don't always take it.
Just stopped Olanzapine (Zyprexa) 2.5MG once daily. I got agitation so bad I was suicidal and slowly was progressing to being a threat to others. That and the insatiable appetite. I'm hoping to find new options soon. I'm doing psychotherapy in 2 weeks. Sent from my iPhone SE using Tapatalk.

 I am prescribed 1mg Klonopin 4 times per day, no PRN. Sometimes I will take it 3 times if I'm not too anxious or manic. I saw your Xanax so you aren't alone in the benzo club.
