My husband is going to take Xanax ?

Question

He is totally afraid to fly, and wants to be numb. The Dr. gave a him a small dose. How much should a man (about 180lb ) take?

Answer 1

If it's his first time just take one tablet.It will make him very relaxed.

Answer 2

The instructions should be on the pill container that the pills came in. The prescription that the pharmacy received must have had that information on it. If the pharmacy did not give you instructions, go back and have them fix it.

Answer 3

25mg is what I take when needed.

50mg puts me to sleep.

Answer 4

The dosage depends on his tolerance to that type of drug. Every person is different, weight matters some, but some people have a natural tolerance to certain drugs. Also if he takes any type of nerve meds. for recreation he will need a higher milligram than a person that doesn't use for recreation.

Answer 5

That basically depends on each individual, and not their weight.  I am slightly overweight, am prescribed xanax, yet am unable to take more than a piece the size of a sesame seed.  Have him talk to his doctor about possibly taking only a half to start and see how he feels with that.  Xanax is a very powerful medication but very helpful for people with anxiety problems.
