sonicwhite Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Okay you guy's knew I was taking klonopin and it worked GRT. Had a long Half life and now I'm on .5 Xanax three times a day PRN and I can hardly make it thru the day with my Panic disorder. It works for a little while then just stops. IDK I know it has a short half lie and I don't want to keep bumping up the IR xanax if there is a way around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crtclms Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 "Pooped out" as in didn't last long enough, or as in you maxed out the dose and it wasn't working? Or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicwhite Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 It just stopped working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crtclms Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 No matter the dose? I am just trying to clarify. So you are not able to go up to a high enough dose for it to work anymore at all? Why are you taking the Xanax PRN, instead of keeping a blood level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicwhite Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Well I am three times day but they have such a short Half life that I get tempted to take more if that makes sense.Ya at any dose they just stopped working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crtclms Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 But why are you even on it prn instead of on a schedule, how is prn supposed to take the place of a steady blood level of klonopin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicwhite Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 cos my doctor wants me to take as less as possible which I can't do because I have been or was doing so well on .5 klonopin three times a day. I'm just thinking about switching to the XR. it seems like the right move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix_Rising Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I take 4 mg Xanax XR/day (2 in the am and 2 in the pm). I find it controls my anxiety much more effectively than taking 4 mg spaced throughout the day. (used to take them at 7 am, 12 pm, 4 pm and 9 pm).

sonicwhite Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Other then it leveling it out. It has been treating me well for two days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crtclms Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I take one mg generic xanax am and pm, and have a 3rd mg as a PRN. I do use the prn with some regularity, but just a couple of times a week; I usually have a lot left over each month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicwhite Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 I think I'm mellowing out on the xanax. Really I'm coming to a point where I only need it three times a day maybe four. Don't want to screw up a good thing with my pdoc. I take one mg generic xanax am and pm, and have a 3rd mg as a PRN. I do use the prn with some regularity, but just a couple of times a week; I usually have a lot left over each month. Thats excellent that you have some left over. Means you are trusted with them!")
