What Is The Dosage For Xanax

Can i take a 2 mg bar and half or whole at the same time? i feel nothing from the 2 mg bar! ## What are you expecting to feel from it? The FDA classifies this medication as a benzodiazepine, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. But, it really doesn't cause a high or anything in most people that take it. It should have an effect similar to sedation. And no, in the regular release, 2mg is the maximum dose recommended, at once. However, if it isn't working for you, at all, you should speak to your doctor, because there is a 3mg time released one that you can try. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yeah but you probably wouldn't feel the 3 mg XR either. Hey Verwon you never answe...

I don’t feel I’m getting the proper dosage of my Xanax. I feel overmedicated... I just want to feel normal. Is 2 mg extended-release and up to 6 mg short-acting considered a high or low dose? ## One 2 MG Xanax XR would be about as much as you would want to take. An additional 6 MG of Xanax in any other form, with or without the 2 MG Xanax XR is too much, way too much! ## Hello Wendy, Nobody on this forum is going to be able to tell you what the proper dosage is for you. I'm not trying to be rude or discredit anyone here but every person reacts to medication differently. If you feel that the dosages that you are taking are too much that would be a discussion you need to have with the doctor who is prescribing you the medication. What I can tell you is that there are defin...

My relative was taking xanax in a low dose. He said his physician increased the amount to 300mg. We think he is mistaken about the dosage amount. What are the available dosages for xanax and what is the highest dosage? Thanks ## 10 mg ## Hello, Bea! How are you? The highest available dosage of Xanax is 2mgs in the regular release up to 3 times a day and 3mgs in the time released formulation. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I take 0.5mg Xanax a day and was advised that there is a higher dose of Xanax. I was told there is a 1mg dose which is stronger than the 0.5 mg. Could you please let me know so I could talk to my dr about this? Thank you.

XANAX COLORS AND MGS. - BLUE FOOTBALLS ARE 1MG =WHITE BARS ARE DIVIDED INTO 4 QUARTERS YELLOW BARS ARE DIVIDED INTO 4 QUARTERS THEESE ARE GENERIC BOTH YELLOW AND WHITE BARS ARE 2MLGS. PEACH COLOR FOOTBAL (not sure about the mgs.but they dont have the same effect as the blue footballs,so they i belive are a smaller dosage but ck w/ a dr first ALWAYS CK W/ A DR FIRST ## The colors don't actually mean anything, except in reference to the name brand, they did use a different color for each dosing of them. However, when it comes to the generic, Alprazolam, the color is entirely up to the whit and whim of the manufacturer and you can't rely on it to know the dosage. Learn more Alprazolam details here. Does anyone have any questions or comments? ## the peach footballs are just .5mgs wh...

I'm going to get my script soon, ive been taking the Actavis brand (Walgreens) and I asked if my next refill it could be the Greenstone g3722. My dosage I'd 2mg. I has the Mylan xr but would say the ACTAVIS is better. Should I stick to Actavis or go for Greenstone? I haven't tried Sandoz nor Dava. ## Greenstone use to be best as they we're bought out by parent co.of Xanax but they dilluated the formula a few years ago. I've been using the 2mg XR Actavis and their not too bad...so yes Actavis works. ## No one "diluted" the formula when a new company bought them. @Benzolover, you seem like you need some further understanding of what Xanax is and does, just a tad too excited about the drug. ## I'm very informed on this drug. But I just wanted to ask what was...

Hello everyone, I am a 23 year old who suffered from extreme and severe agoraphobia, panic attacks and anxiety for around 5 years. To get to the point I was using alcohol as a medication, to go out, to socialize, to go to the airport, train station, you name it. Basically I used alcohol to get on with my life, at first like many of us alcohol helped take the edge off but it was not until around 2 and a half years later that it got complete out of control. I use to wake up and drink, put liquor in water bottles and basically drink the whole day until I sleep. After a heavy drinking session I woke up to extreme withdrawal symptoms and I decided to step up and seek help. I was prescribed prozac (20mg) once daily and Xanax to wean off the withdrawal. It's been a year now that I have sto...

I have a football shaped Xanax with pml 1 on them. It is also a lavender colored and I think there's speckles on it. What mg are they? ## I've only found a little information on these, so I cannot guarantee it's correct, but from the details my search turned up, these are from Thailand. They are sold under the brand name Pharmax, the manufacturer is Pharmaland, which explains the PML logo and the number corresponds to the dosage. Thus PML 1 contains 1mg of Alprazolam. Learn more Pharmax details here. Where were they found/obtained? ## xanax should never have specs if they do please never take them and they are not from thailand they are actually coming via thailand from china ## Qualitest makes all kinds of speckled pills. When I was on the 1 mg footballs before getting uppe...

I would like to know if they make 3mg Xanax bars? Not the time release ones, but one's that have scores on them? Thanks ## No, the maximum dosage available in the regular release tablets are 2mgs. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with? ## could this white bar shaped with 10 10 10 (B4M) opposite side ## Yea bro. What about them canadians? I am sure they got higher mg up there. ## She's not a bro. Let's put it this way; There are no 3mg "Xanax" bars produced by any legitimate manufacturer or approved by the FDA. There are green "Xanax" triangles which are 3mg extended release. The only possible 3mg alpra...

Doctor is wiening me off Alprazolam. My biggest concern is sleeping. Is there another medicine that is not in the bens. class that will work for sleeping? ## Try Trazadone. There are many other medicines that cause sleepiness. Even OTC medicine and herbal medicine could possibly help you. Xanax is not a sleeping pill ## @Jim, Here are just a few options (out of many) that may be worth looking into for a sleep-aid: 1) Ashwagandha root - studies suggest that a dosage of 100-200mg/kg is reported to be similar in potency to 500mcg diazepam in reducing sleep latency & improving sleep quality in mice. 2) Melatonin 3) Valerian root 4) Magnesium However, it would probably be best to discuss these and other options with your doctor until you're completely off xanax, that way you eliminat...

I need to know the mg of xanax round pink pill, scored with 029 one side and R on the other. I have had it for a while and forgot the strength. ## This is a 0.5mg Alrazolam tablet, the generic for Xanax. Just for future safety, you should leave them in the original pharmacy bottles, to avoid mixing up medications, or taking the wrong dosage. If you read more Xanax details, you'll see that as a Benzodiazepine, it may be dangerous to do so. Is there anything else I can help with?

Alprazolam aka Xanax It's a generic version of Xanax (alprazolam 2mg) ## Thanks for the info Lego. From what I've researched Kalma appears to be an Australian trade name of Alprazolam, made by Alphapharm. It reportedly comes in 0.25mg, 0.5mg, 1mg and 2mg dosage forms and carries the following set of inactive ingredients: lactose sodium benzoate maize starch magnesium stearate sodium starch glycollate microcrystalline cellulose colloidal anhydrous silica povidone docusate sodium indigo carmine (Kalma 0.5 mg and Kalma 1 mg only) erythrosine (Kalma 0.5 mg only) The tablets are also listed as being gluten free. Hope this info helps anyone else who may be interested in asking their doctor about taking Kalma.

I have noticed in the last year doctors are really trying to lower patient’s dose of alprazolam. I take 1 mg four times daily, or 4 mg a day. What is your current dosage? ## You just noticed this? Doctors have been under pressure to lower or discontinue prescribing Xanax. Of course, it still matters what State you are in, and for the Doctor's, what medical group they might be affiliated with? Let me be honest with you, 4 MG is too much, you are dependent, you are hooked. I take 3 Mg a day, and I am dependent & I am hooked. My Doctor has no problem writing for Xanax, more grief given for SOMA. My Doctor is like 76, he's sharp, and spends one to two hours with me each visit. We mainly talk about 3 D TV when he isn't getting Trump Robo calls for money. One day he won...

My wife used generic Xanax for anxiety and trouble sleeping. She has only taken 14 pills of .5mg as needed to sleep over a period of 1-2 months. Occasionally she would double the dose (1mg). She started experiencing random severe head burning/tingling sensations, sudden fatigue, and similar severe symptoms in the last week. After reading about Xanax w/d she quit taking it cold turkey thinking that was the cause. That was 3 days ago. She still has the symptoms off and on. Could this be Xanax withdrawals or should I be rushing her to the ER for an MRI and CtScan for other possible health problems. And if Xanax is the cause how long should it continue on that prior inconsistent low dose usage. Any educated response are very much appreciated! ## Hello, Matt! How is your wife doing? I'd ...

I need to know if there's a such thing as a 5 milligram klonopin or 5 milligram xanax pill. This kid is swearing up and down that they exist and I want to make sure this is legit because I can't find anything about a 5 milligram klonopin or xanax on the internet which is kind of weird. ## Not in the United States? ## Anyone telling you that they can get there hands on a 5 mg Xanax is full of crap. As the other person who responded who is correct. Not legally in the USA. Plus that a large amount to take at once. It's not a med to mess around with. I know first hand due to a doc who prescribed this amount to me for months. The detox was hell so be very careful to anyone who takes high dosages. U can not stop abruptly or you can suffer emotionally and physically. Please don...

I had the Prolia shot in May and caused many, many problems. I had never been so, so sick. It did not agree with my immune system. Now I have so much anxiety from that event and now cannot take Xanax. I have so much pain which I had never had before Prolia. My Doc put me on Gabapentin 3 times daily but this is way too much. What can be done for me. Prolia should be taken off the market! ## Xanax and Ativan are in the same family and are similar ## Why do you feel the Gabapentin is way too much? What dosage did your doctor prescribe? It is an anticonvulsant that is also used to treat anxiety, and certain types of nerve pain. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood changes, and weight changes. As to what Eddy said, he is correct, they...

MY DR PRESCRIBED ME THE 2.5mg xanax and while in research for my college for a project on narcotics and the effect they have on the younger nation i found out that they are only 1mg is this something i should be worried about thank you in ahead of time shy guy ## Are you sure your doctor didn't prescribe you .025mg? I don't believe xanax comes in 2.5mg. I believe xanax comes in .025mg, .05mg 1mg and 2mg.

What do it look like my doctor say i need to be taking 5mg ## You would need to take more than 1 pill if your Doctors want you to take 5 mg as a 5 mg pill isn't available. Is this per day. I would get a second opinion if someone wants you to take that much. ## Yep agreed with above there is only 2mg, they don't have anything above that ## Reluctantly I have to say you're right. I was prescribed 10 milligrams a day 3 years ago. I have since switched doctors who has me on 8mg/day, 4 2mg/daily. This isn't a med toy want to up in dosage unless absolutely need be.

what miligram is this small round peach generic xanax? ## The small round peach pill is 0.5mg of Alprazolam (The generic for Xanax) ## It isn't the color that tells anything about a tablet, it would actually be the marking on the tablet that would identify the ingredient and dosage. So, while this may be a 0.5mg tablet, as Hayley says, there is no way to be absolutely certain, without knowing what the imprint on it is. The color doesn't actually mean anything. Some of the round, peach/orange tablet markings are: MYLAN A3 (0.5mg) 029 R (0.5mg) 604 (0.5mg) ALP 0.5 APO (0.5mg) M A22 (1mg) V 2092 (1mg) R 87 (2mg) b492 1 (1mg) So, as you can see, the color does not indicate what the dosage is. Do any of these markings match the tablet you are asking about?
