In reply to Ativan v. Xanax v. Valium, posted by Dan Perkins on March 2, 2007, at 21:55:04
Xanax IR works for me and has for 25 years without upping the dosage. Half-life is 6-20 hours according to :

I find that 8 hours between doses works for me but everyone is different. I tried valium once to taper down my xanax and found it more sedating; xanax a bit more anti-depressant.
Ativan is similar to xanax with a bit longer of half-life but I have heard of more people becoming tolerant to low doses of ativan and having to go up in dose, than xanax. This is not a proven fact however. Just my experience. Hope this helps some.
