A member asked:
Is it okay to take three xanax (alprazolam) per day and one ativan at night for sleep? this cocktail of meds seems a bit much......
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Xanax (alprazolam) is typically given 3 or 4 times/day. I'm not sure why you were prescribed Ativan at night; an extra Xanax (alprazolam) should work just as well.
