Another question… For those of you who take Xanax

I've noticed looking at peoples postings that those of you on Xanax take a varying degrees of milligrams . My doctor just has given me .25 mg and that doesn't seem to do anything for my anxiety. What have you found is the best dosage for you?

klonopin has worked for me and tends to last longer than X. I also hear K is less apt to be addicting, but not sure if that is 100% correct. I take either .5 or .25 each day along with a small dose of zoloft. Doesn't take away all the anxiety, but dampens it so to speak. Then after that it is up to me to use my skills to help me through which is why my doc won't prescribe me a higher dose, which I agree with.

For me, 0.5mg "takes the edge off" and doesn't make me too sleepy. In the beginning, I started on 0.5mg (forget how many times a day I was allotted) and progressed to 1mg which I can take up to twice a day. Rarely do I take what I'm prescribed.

Yes, there are some medications that last longer. We're all different, so see what works for you.
