[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 356031, member: 1233"] As these are warning signs of toxicity you may want to call Poison Control to see what steps they would recommend. Then, if the prescribing doctor is not responsive tomorrow am, he should take the info from Poison Control and go to the ER. Toxicity is nothing to play with. Xanax is at a high dose, but it depends on how long he has been taking it and how he responds. I have responded to .25 mgs and have several cousins who take up to 10 mgs of xanax cr to deal with psychiatric issues (beyond general anxiety). They did NOT start at that dose, but other medications have not helped so they have climbed to that level over several years. Taking the info from Poison Control to the ER is a time saver. Often the ER won't know what to do and will have to call for advice, so taking the info with you can help. I hope he feels better soon and has no long term damage from this. [/QUOTE]
