In reply to Xanax? Holy crap, still knocked out ..., posted by AMD on March 17, 2004, at 17:04:48
Hi AMD,
If you've never taken Xanax before, 2 mgs is a hefty dose. It's a potent medication and I've found that .25 mgs is very helpful on nights when I'm having extreme anxiety. Most people who take 2 mgs work their way up to that dose, and very few people take more than that.
You should feel normal again tomorrow. The length of time it lasts varies from person to person. I think the average is about 8 hrs. But you might feel a little out of it even after it's left your system because you've thrown your body through a loop.
Overall, Xanax is a very safe drug (although there are definately a few people who have had bad experiences with it) and I don't think you did any damage by taking as much as you did. Just take less next time you decide to have Xanax.
