Do you take it regularly or just occasionally? It's very weird. It doesn't seem to have such a long half life for me. If I take .5mg at 9am, by 2pm I am anxious again. Of course, the .5mg at 9 doesn't really get rid of the anxiety (it's actually more fear than anxiety), it just dampens it a bit. And it seems to take at least an hour and a half to get into my system. Maybe an hour if sublingually.
