Guest guest Posted November 10, 1998 Report Share Posted November 10, 1998 Tina, I've taken the Xanax for almost two years and have not built up a tolerance, and it is still working. You probably know that the Doc on the Southern Cal web page suggests drug holidays. Both my family and neuro have told me NOT to do that, but I think the infor I get on the web is better. So here is what I do. On work nights I take my regular dose, usually 2 of the .25's. I try to lighten up on Friday and Saturday, maybe only 2 of the .25's. When I have more than one drink in an evening, (usually on a Saturday), I take none. (Usually sleep like hell.) Every so often, once a month or six weeks, if I am doing OK , I will go cold turkey for two nights, again usually including a Saturday. (This can really be hell by the second night. However, I think it is worth it to keep the drug effective and the dose relatively low. My script is for up to .75 a day. By the way, I just got back from a trip to Seattle via Dallas (from KC), and did pretty good on the plane by taking a .25 in the airport right before boarding. However, the flight was so long (with the connection, over six hours), it was starting to wear off at the very last. Jo from Mo (KC) The Chiefs lost but we had a great time in the beautiful city of Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
