Hi w.l.:)

I am sorry that your Rx has seemed to fail you. This is definitely a question for your doctor.

How long have you been on your current dose? Do you take it everyday? These things can factor into whether or not your body has built up a tolerance to the level that you are on...and whether you need to ask your doctor about an increase.

I wish you luck in getting this figured out!

I am sorry to read this but your best bet is to talk to the prescribing Dr.  Also have you tried other methods of reining in your anxiety ?  For me it has taken medication and a lot of practice at learning to control my anxiety.

I am sure this is not what you wanted to hear but medications can only do so much and the benzos are good to help decrease anxiety but not meant to be a cure all.

Blessings,

Kitt

Xanax only helps so much. Once u build ur resistance to it it needs to b increased. Or lessen stress. Yea ok. I should b on .50 but refuse to increase it bc it becomes addictive good luck 😊

thanks for all the input everyone. I'm kinda worried about getting in something not so addictive after i thought about it because I am allergic to ativan. It's in the same group so what if whatever else he put me on , i was also allergic to? I think I'll just ask him to up the doseage. I try other forms of self soothing but it just never seems to help much.
