Sorry, but I couldn't get a concrete answer through my research. I am prescribed .5mg Xanax 4x a day (for over a year). I ran out a few days early. I cannot refill until the 9th. I have one more Xanax left, but I do have plenty of 1mg Ativan that I can take. However, will I still experience withdrawal? I am not sure what I should expect, because this is the first time I've ran out early.
I appreciate any comments and/or advice. I am hoping the Ativan will work just fine to substitute until Monday, but if that's not the case, I would rather just suck it up and call in to my psychiatrist and let her know that I abused my prescription medication and am in need of an early refill. I have no idea how she would/will react. It would be the first time in the [almost] two years that I've been her patent that this has occurred, but I would rather not make that call if Ativan is sufficient.
Thank you.
