NOTE: The reason I feel this is a unique question is that most Xanax users seem to take multiple doses per day, and that is most of the information I am finding. Therefore I am posting a new thread.
I know y'all aren't doctors and what not but here goes:
So, probably 14 days out of the month I take xanax once a day. Highish dose (3-6 depending) mainly for sleep. My rx is for 3mg per day. I have taken it for a couple years, but never every day, and never more than once a day. Always at night.
I have never experienced withdrawal symptoms.
On the other 14 days I take Ambien.
I have taken the Xanax once daily for the past week or so trying to decrease my Ambien tolerance.
So I have 6mg left of Xanax (which I will be able to refill in 7 days) and currently no Ambien, but that I can fill on Tuesday.
Should I:
3-2-1 the Xanax the next few days and go without once I get the Ambien?
Try taking one Xanax the next few days until I get the Ambien?
Wait and see if I notice any particular w/d symptoms?
Stop asking internet forums for advice on medical issues?
Any input appreciated. Mainly just trying to avoid an ugly withdrawal situation.
