I was taking 5mg for 3 weeks it did nothing than today I took 10mg omg i feel heavy and dizzy when standing

[@victoriaflorie5889]

Same thing happens to me. I’ve tried taking more than my regular 5mg several times, and I get the heavy, dizziness’s every single time.
The dosage is too high. Try splitting the second dose in half. That should help!

Yeah! I takw 5mg twice a day. Dizzy drowsy arms and feet numbness but it helps. My hair starts to thin out I just noticed. I will try for one month and if it is too bad I will discontinue by tapering it out slowly. Don’t ever take Zanax, benzodiazepines you will regret
