It's true about finding right dosage etc. I am VERY sensitive to Xanax. I only need one half of a .25mg pill. (Unless it is a panic attack that has progressed and was not anticipated.) I took one half on Monday morning and then again in evening of this week. Took one half on Tues and then one half on Wednesday. Well Wed afternoon I was feeling zonked. It could have also been that I had to be up VERY early yesterday morning - that affects me too. Will make me feel more anxious if I am over tired. Anyway - I felt in a haze from that small dose yesterday. I know that Xanax has a short half life - right? So it's out of my body fast - but I swear if there is any way it can linger in my body, and accumulate it does. Today I needed none - anxious feelings were minimal and I could control them. But I wasn't wiped out. But tomorrow I could get up and by mid day might feel all shakey or very sensitive to sound and jumpy. So I will take another half.

I am able to have a glass of wine with half a xanax - not saying everyone can. But i enjoy wine in moderation - so I'm not going to give it up. It's all about trying to balance things - and continue enjoying my life the way I once did.
