In reply to xanax unbelievable affect, posted by jgmw on February 29, 2008, at 11:18:30
> My sisters doctor could not offer an explanation for why Xanax made the psychosis go away in 3 days. He couldn't offer an answer. He was dumbfounded himself. The dosage was just .25mg ONCE A DAY! I'm wondering if she doesn't have an anxiety disorder, or something. I don't know, maybe she is misdiagnosed. I need to do some research to figure out what's going on with the situation, because it's strange.
I agree its a piddly dose but please read my previous comment. Your doctor should also know of the contraindication of any substantial amount of benzodiazepines.It is one reason I am reducing my benzodiazepine load because I -possibly- want to switch from Seroquel to Clozaril for an off label reason.
But there are risks beyond the blood testing for me, neurological outcomes because Clozaril is very close to Zyprexa and I have a possible TDy (dystonic, dystonia) reaction that is still around. That of course is very rare unfortunately :/
Anyhow, I am glad that she is on a stable dose of Clozaril, which is pretty safe on its own and can be helpful and basically zero for TD and ironically helpful for TDy too.
