"i was prescribed .5mg to be taken 2 times daily for anxiety. at first i would only take a single .5mg dose every once in a while if i had an anxiety issue, which seemed to help a bit. well, last week i was anxious most of the week so i decided to take a single, .5mg dose once a day for 4 days straight. boy was that a bad idea!!! 2 days after stopping, my anxiety symptoms skyrocketed multiple times worse than before i even started the medicine. i had severe withdrawal symptoms for over a week after and didn&#039;t know a dependence could be gained in such a short period of time. my psychiatrist even said it was nearly impossible for that short a period at that dose. i won&#039;t continue this medication. beware!"
