Xanax 1 Mg Dose Age

3 Topics Found

After much research, I understand Alprazolam's (Xanax) half life is approximately 11 hours, correct? So, as an example, if a person took a 1 mg dose of xanax, it would be down to .5 milligrams in their system after the approximate 11 hours? I know there are a lot of other factors too, such as age, weight, metabolism, etc., but can anyone help me understand how you would figure up approximately how much would be in someone's system going by half lives and if they took multiple doses? This may sound confusing so I'll use an example. Day 1: 2:00 P.M. - Took 1.5 mg 6:00 P.M. - Took 0.5 mg Day 2: 7:00 A.M. - Took 1.0 mg 10:00 A.M. - Took 0.5 mg 4:00 P.M. -Took 0.5 mg 10:00 P.M. - Took 1.0 mg Day 3: 9:00 A.M. - Took 1.5 mg 1:00 P.M. - Took 1.0 mg 5:00 P.M. - Took 0.5 mg 9:00 P.M. ...

I need to find a doctor in the Cape-Atlantic-Cumberland region who will keep me on the same medication. I am on 0.5 mg of Xanax three times a day. I have been on Valium, then Xanax beginning at age 10 for severe panic attacks. I was going to a clinic where the doctor was fine, but I was bounced around from doctor to doctor after the regular one left. The fill-ins were fine. The new one I honestly can't stand and the second appointment that I had with him, last week, is when he said he is going to stop prescribing it for me. Mind you, one of the fill-ins said it was a baby dose. I do not want to increase and told her so, nor did I want to switch to Klonopin. I am 48. I am not 25. Please, somebody help me. ## Dawnne, if a new Doctor who doesn't know you from a speck of dust wants ...

Hello all, I started taking Viibryd back in August of 2013. My doctor prescribed me 40 mg daily. I was also taking .25 Xanax as needed. To say if my anxiety went away, I'm not so sure. Anyways, I relocated to California back in January, and I am now 2,000 miles away from most of my anxiety triggers. There have been days when I had forgotten to take my medicine and experienced TERRIBLE side effects. Itchy all over, dizzy, and terrible neck pain. I went to see my new doctor about 2 1/2 weeks ago and he said that someone my age (22), and size (118 pounds) should have never been prescribed this or such a high dose. He instructed me to ween off of it. Needless to say after taking 1/2 for a week, then 1/4 for a week, as of Monday I am done to nothing. I am exhausted. I literally can sleep...
