Took Xanax, Heart Was Thumping Hard And Little Anxiety. Can I Take Another Xanax?
Hi and welcome to XXXXXXX
Thank you for your query.
Since this is low dose Xanax you can take it now again. Even .5mg xanax can be taken 3-4 times daily for mild anxiety disorders, but your daily dose shouldn't exceed 2mg.
Every 6 hours is optimal interval, but anyway, don't take it too frequently. It may not have effect on heart palpitation if these palpitations(thumping) aren't caused by emotional stress or anxiety.
Better try to rest in dark and peaceful room, drink enough liquids and eat easier food. Also, in your case, benzodiazepines would maybe be better solution so if your difficulties persist for more 48 hours consult your doctor about it.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
