Took Xanax XR then was able to tapper down

I have UC - was having panic attacks about leaving the house - did not want to have an accident out in public, well UC has gotten more under control after surgery on my thyroid (?spelling)first of Nov anyway so we tapered down then it got to were I would take one mg every other day.

Well after the Christmas holiday and my daughters schedule the ice storm no power, I have worked my self into a tissy - now I think that it is me not my UC that is causing the tummy problems.

me and the GI doc dont agree that the surgery helped my UC, but then he also cant explain why my very high liver enzymes dropped.

so my doc I see about the anxiety - I called and she had the nurse return my call and told me to go back to the full dose 3 mg per day

here is the question in all of this - how long will that take to start working again..

oh yes and we are also going out of state for a cheer comp. I dont like going - much less strange places I dont know were the rest room is

but when I was tapering down before I was going all kinds of places

sorry I just want to know how long before I will get back to more normal --- please help

it was after the Thyroid that everything started to get better
WAY better. It has just been in the last couple of weeks, I am also feeling very down the last couple of days - I think that it is ttotm for me.

I had tappered down with her okay - I mean everything was going so great!

How long does it take for the xanax xr to start to kick back in, any ideas?

is 3mg a large dose?
