In reply to Xanax THerapeutic Dose, posted by LibbyH on February 25, 2003, at 22:14:52
Indeed it is a huge dose and if he stays on it for long time, it could be very very hard or impossible to come back or even reduce the dosage. Overdosing Xanax alone will not kill, but if combined with other medications or alcohol, the effect can sometimes be deadly. I am not writing to scare you, but the maximum approved dose of Xanax for panic disorder is around 6 to 8 mg. Take him to the nearest hospital and don't waste time. The sooner the treatment begins, better it is.
Good luck to you and your Hus. Take care, act very soon please!
