Problem: A patient experiencing persistent insomnia requests a higher dose of alprazolam (Xanax). A psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) realizes the medication is only approved for treating acute generalized anxiety disorder. The patient reports that he has taken the same dose for five years. Everyone on the treatment team, including the patient, agrees to start a slow titration off Xanax. Because the patient has been taking this medication for five years, by what percentage should this PMHNP decrease the medication over the first two weeks, knowing rebound anxiety is possible? 20% every week 5% every two weeks 30% per day 0.5 mg every day.
