> Thanks for the responses--I do intend to call my pdoc, but in case I was mistaken--I was pretty sure the effect should be quite rapid--I didn't want to call her and sound like an alarmist.
> It shouldnt be cross-tolerance as i have not hd benzos before.
> The problem is is that she gave me this to use PRN--if I have severe anxiety, then take it for four days, then stop. I was not the slightest fatigued at this dose. She did mention that it is a small dose meant to take the "edge off," not necessarily eliminate anxiety, but it seemed to have NO effect.>That usually means you don't have a good pdoc. Only 4 days for severe anxiety? That's not going to take the edge off of anything. I used to take benzos PRN for anxiety, but found out that taking them every day allows them to accumulate in your system so your anxiety slowly diminishes. You were right to not call her right away though...often pdoc's will take that as a red flag for addiction to benzos.
