Should Xanan be taken during the panic attack or every 8 hours?
human
My BP is 117/60, pulse 68. I go to Duke for ALL my medical problems. I am on multiple meds  - isoorbide, metoprolol, tikosyn, lasix, janumet, magnesium oxide, tetracycline, warfarin, simvastatin, klor-con, aspirin!! I know you are most likely saying WOW but I had a cardiac ablation on 12/01/10 and a cardiac cath in January which showed 100% blockage in one artery that wasn't a concern and 80% in another that they did not want to put a stent in because of the "Y" location. I am also very hard of hearing. Now my most recent problem is PANIC ATTACKS! At this time I am so very depressed over all these problems and now the attacks are almost too much. They put me on xanan 0.25 mg. Do you think I should wait for an attack or take it every 8 hours to ward off one? I am 61 and weight 270 down from 320.

Hii understand your concern.It is occur most of the patient after cardiac procedure.Usually xanax is beneficial and you can take it every 8 hourly,but it would better if you tale ETIZOlAM instead of xanax.Xanax has addictive potential.This condition can be treated with sertraline 50 mg in morning with etizolam 0.5 mg twice in a day.Do exercise and meditations.Relaxation and deep breathing can help.Proper sleep and healthy diet can helpful.Thank you.
