I was prescribed 0.25 of xanax to help me sleep as I have anxiety. I feel like I could use a little more, as Im not shutting my mind off, if u know what I mean. Is it Ok to take two 0.25 at night.? How dependent can one really become.? And once doc takes me off xanax, what else has similar effects, as i have major insomnia.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Xanax works, but it far from an ideal medication to help you sleep. Don't take two.
Xanax is NOT a good drug for anything more than short term treatment.
You can become very quickly dependant on it, and the withdrawals are hell.
Before you start taking them, get some Benadryl liguid or the pills. It's the same ingrediant they put into Tylenol PM and other sleep meds.
You could try them too.
also, if you must get a perscription to sleep, get a real one. Like Lunesta, or Ambien.

It's an extremely strong drug - 0.25 wont work as your tolerance builds quickly, and your tolerance will never go down. The drugs stay in your system and you continiously need more
You can take up to 1mg and be ok - and then 2mg, 3mg, etc. Don't take more than 10mg
You wont find anything over the counter thats as strong as xanaxHealth Question & Answer

it's a really low dose.
that's what i take. i take one a day as needed for anxiety.
it works for me... for my anxiety. but, i have never taken any benzos until now, so my body isn't used to them.
i wouldn't start upping my dose without my doc's permission. first, youre not following doc's orders. second, you'll run out too soon and have to explain why you need an early refill and he/she may not give you one if they think you have been taking more than they prescribed.
