I've had exfoliative cheilitis for 12 years where the entire layer of my upper and lower lips peels off, leaving them red and raw. My top lip is also covered in Fordyce spots. I've tried so many treatments tacrolimus, clobetasol, mometasone, calendula ointment, Sebamed lip balm but nothing helps. Even multivitamins didn't make a difference.

Typically, the recommended daily dose ranges from 0.25 to 2 milligrams, taken 2 to 3 times a day . Taking 5 grams of alprazolam can be extremely dangerous and potentially life-threatening. This is an excessively high dose that can cause severe symptoms, including respiratory depression, coma, and even death .
