So many times I have gone into a Doctor's office wanting to change to a certain med, only to come out with a prescription for a completely different med, or an increased dosage of the one I wanted to change! And without quite knowing how it happened! When I saw your earlier post about how you were definitely going to go with the Benzo route - I wondered if it would go pear shaped. I'm on Xanax (down to 1.5mg a day now) and have been for nearly a year now. In that time I've noticed the effectiveness of the dosage decrease - basically I think my body was getting used to them. I'm coming off them (as well as restarting the Paxil) because I couldn't stand the feeling of tiredness they gave me. In saying that, they really helped when I went through my 'meltdown' last Christmas.
