perpetuallysad- Thanks for your response! My xanax dose is .5 mg 3 times a day; maybe it does need to be increased some. I get so anxious sometimes that I cannot stop trembling which really misses up my handwriting. I currently take depokote, lithium, zoloft, xanax, geodon and ambien for my bipolar, anxiety, hallucinations, and insomnia. The dr says I have a complex form of bp and it takes several meds to try to control it.
