Xanax still works 20 years later/reduced dose too

Monte,
I am sorry you've become tolerant to your benzo dose. A couple years ago I did a "Heather Ashton" valium crossover from xanax and thus was able to reduce my xanax from 3mg. to 1.75mg. and it is still working for me. BTW I have been on xanax for 20 some years, doctor fault; sure I am addicted to it unfortunately.

I guess we are all different. I switched to the name brand xanax which btw, I would recommend you try name brand benzo and see if that makes a difference - the generic Sandoz was like placebo for me; had withdrawal symptoms, etc. Then after name brand I tried the greenstone brand (subsidiary of Pfizer) and they worked just fine. I can tell after I take one that it is definitely working. Sure I wish I never took a benzo at all but the withdrawal for me was hellish to say the least on the valium. I am doing okay on 1.75mg. xanax per day; just added wellbutrin a couple months ago.
Best wishes Monte,
Abby Cunningham (was Valene)
