In reply to Xanax - dosage?, posted by Jackster on January 9, 2001, at 15:27:48
> Hi - I've just restarted on Paxil and am waiting for it to kick in. In the meantime the PDoc has put me on 1mg of Xanax four times a day. I'm just wondering is this is a high or low dosage? Is anyone else on it while they're waiting for the meds to kick in?
Seems quite high to me. Recently I took about 2mg/day for a couple of weeks and noticed definite withdrawal symptoms upon stopping. Wouldn't worry too much tho'; Xanax is commonly prescribed for panic attacks in the 3-6mg range.
Like rogdog I think say a 2mg/day start-up dose would be prudent, increasing the dose if required.
Good luck with the Paxil,
Jah.
