> hi. feeling somewhat defeated but not completely, i've had to go back to 75mg 4x/day. i had dropped down to 3x/day and it just wasn't enough. so for the last few days i've returned to 4x/day-- where i'd been for months previously-- and have found i'm less irritable. (yes, i've learned not to mess with things when they are good.) i also took my first xanax today when we went to spouse's family reunion (i was NOT in the mood for this! *grin*) and was relieved that it helped me quite quickly to stop biting my spouse/kids' heads off in the car. -terra
yeah, xanax - it's a life-saver! i took it all through a very difficult courtroom proceeding over child custody and $ support for my daughter. this was 6 yrs ago now, but i remember like it was yesterday, going into the ladies' room at the courthouse and popping more when i needed to. i still have a scrip for it, for as-needed dosing. it can be very helpful for me from time to time.
it's not a defeat to try a lower dose of the ativan and find it's just not the proper level for you...!
as though a certain number of milligrams is ok, but another is not. it's just good you have your crabby-medicine, and that it works...xox,
Wendy
