No: You need to talk to your psychiatrist or pcp to come up with an adequate schedule/dosage.

Discss with doc: Presumably you are talking about Ativan or xanax (alprazolam). You should discuss with your psychiatrist because while an increase in dose may be helpful, you can also become addicted to these medications in addition to your anxiety.
