Suunydays, how much xanax did she prescribe (sorry if you already posted that I did not see it). How little of it have you tried to take to get to sleep? I use only .25 (sometimes I need two but rarely two nights or days in a row) and I go to sleep and I am anxious as hell. I am prescribe up to .75 at a time. I would never start out at 1 mg. or more. I think to start at a lower dosage is an ok thing to do if you are worried. Then you are taking it everynight like she wants. If a smaller dosage works and you go to sleep then all is well and she would be happier and so would you.
So how much is the least you have tried to see it works?
Now we are different in that my p-doc did not prescribe it for an sleep aid nor to counter the effects of an ad.
But if she insists and you are so frustrated just try and half the tablet if it is 1 mg. or even 1/4 of one.
I think this is a viable trial to try and get relief with a lower chance of addiction which I believe is your biggest worry.
