Can Anti Anxiety Medication Stop Working After Only 3 Weeks Posted: 07-02-07 05:25am
I posted a message about three weeks ago
about severe nausea which had lasted for
weeks but since then was given maxolonfor
nausea and Kalma)(alprazolam) for anxiety
by my GP which worked within hours and I
felt fine for about two weeks but this
past week the severe nausea is coming
back. I've increased the dosage of Kalma
from half a .5mg tablet 3 times a day to
one three times a day but without results
and I feel more anxious and jumpy than
ever and also very depressed now. I just
feel terrible - nauseous, anxious and
depressed can this be the alprazolam and
has anyone any ideas.... please

Go back to GP and either up the xanax,
your body has probably gotten used to it
and need to titrate up, or switch to
either Clonanazapam (long lasting 18 to 50
hours) or Ativan (6 to 8 hours) until you
get to a Psychiatrist. Your GP is not
qualified to deal with this. The above
link is a very helpful article. Best of
luck.
