Thanks for an awaited reply. Will my doctor think I am taking to much if I keep asking for refills before there supposed to be depleted?
I dont feel I am abusing this drug it just makes me function and feel better. Answer: In general, this class of drugs is very effective when taken at correct dosing. The dosing depends on the individual, but if there is no sedation would not usually be considered excessive. As you use the drug over time, there is a natual need to increase the dosing since your liver detoxifies it faster and your develop “tolerance”. Most physicians with experience in treating anxiety disorders would understand this and increase your dosage as necessary as long as you were functioning socially. Some get hung up on addiction(which you surely have if you take it for a time). But, more importantly is to function. I think you are correct in your statements, but different physicians have different ideas-based more on their social bias than medical evidence.
