> Tep, drinking is not the answer. Family gatherings are diffucult for anyone much less with the problems you are dealing with. Stay sober for a few days, keep the Z to 1/4mg or 1/2 doses and lets work this out. Do you live in a major city? Do you have friends who you can talk to and support you emotionaly? Stay off the beer and keep in communication. There is a solution for you but it will not be simple or quick.
Greif,
This is exactly what i feared would happen, no xanax or too little xanax to help him, and he is back to drinking. Not to mention he is on Nardil and every time he drinks he could suffer from a tyramine induced stroke! Until you can help him find a doc and help him financially, i agree with Ed ( who is a brilliant Psychopharmacologist) he needs more xanax. After he gets things under control with a new pdoc etc. he can work on tapering the xanax. But for now, to save his life he needs to use higher doses. Many Psychiatrists use 10 or more mgs. of xanax for patients in the middle of an acute psychiatric episode as Tepi is.Sincerely,
