Anxiety sufferers, please help!!
I had a moment of panic and I took a whole xanax. I usually take a half. I think it's 25 mg? I am going out tonight with friends and I really wish I hadn't taken the whole thing...I don't want to be zonked...I know this sounds bad but can or should I make myself throw up? I drank a ton of water to help dilute it..I don't know what else to do. I guess I have to wait it out....
I hate panic attacks

Re: Anxiety sufferers, please help!!
 Maybe you can lay down and sleep for awhile? I don't think trying to throw up would help at this point!

Re: Anxiety sufferers, please help!!
I would try to take a deep breath and not give yourself more anxiety over this.
I think you will be fine w your whole pill, even if you normally take half.
I have done the same, and it was ok.

I agree! I suffer from panic attacks and I'm not on any med's (wish I was somtimes--lol) but I would try and rest up before you go out, it may help you feel much better!

You should be fine. If you are used to 1/2 honestly a little more shouldn't be that bad. If you are drinking though, just be careful that you don't drink too much, it may make you tipsier quicker/drowsier faster.

Re: Anxiety sufferers, please help!!
It must be 2.5mg (25mg would have you out for a week). And that is a VERY low dose. It may make you a little sleepy but Xanax is short acting and will wear off completely in a few hours.
And if you were very anxious, you may not even feel sleepy from it.
Have a good time tonight

LOL you are right, it is the .25. I was ok, actually I felt very mellow, I took a shower and had some coffee...I don't really drink anyone so that wasn't an issue..
UGH anxiety sux.
