Just had a question about Xanax, jono, since you seem rather experienced with it ..
Can it (and other benzos) have differing effects at different doses? I kept thinking I was crazy when I remembered Valium and clonazepam agitating me at lower doses (I've taken higher doses on one-off occasions, but for the purpose of sleep, and found them more calming), but for the past few days I've been noticed a mixture of sedation/cognitive impairment and increased agitation/alertness on 0.5mg of Xanax, within the space of a few hours. Taking a dose at dinner time will ensure my sleep is disrupted.
I upped to 1mg this morning and felt uncomfortable initially, but now am calmer and feel almost drunk/sedated. Should I persist with the 1mg dose? It's frustrating that the anxiolytic effect is accompanied by a lot of tiredness and impairment.
