Medication for Acute Episodes and Prevention

• Xanax (Alprazolam)   

• Niravam (Alprazolam orally disintegrating tablets)

• Klonopin Wafers (Clonazepam)

• Ativan (Lorazepam)

A common question asked is “how much should I take?”  “Take enough, not too much.” 

This is like a firefighter calling headquarters and saying, “I have a grass fire starting here, how much water should I put on it?”   “Put out the fire.  Don’t flood the valley.”
