sonicwhite Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Okay I have been having more anxiety than normal lately....I'm prescribed 1 mg twice a day but it doesn't seem to have the magic it had....I don't want to go higher but I also know that if I cut back then I ill surely have to deal with more anxiety...I know this is something to talk to my pdoc about and I am on Lyrica which I heard is great for anxiety but I'm on the lowest dose so I really don't see the benefits of anti-anxiety symptoms going away.

jt07 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 As long as you are taking it as prescribed, I don't understand why you think it is necessary to cut back. If it is not working, then you have to talk it over with your pdoc, but it doesn't mean that cutting back on your own is a good idea. Just keep taking it as prescribed until you see your pdoc. Then maybe your doctor will decide to increase the dose or perhaps try a different benzo. Just don't make med changes on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicwhite Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Yes I take it as prescribed but even my pdoc has said to take less but that is if I don't need it......I need more anti anxiety effects and well I can't get that from cutting back. I'm going to take it as prescibed because I don't like sedation or benzos aren't really even fun anyways. I only use it to take away the anxiety as prescribed.
