i also have low dose xanax i take as needed. january is always a stressful month and i had a sinus cold and no work. even then i did not take it every day. if i awake feeling anxious i look at my schedule. if it is busy i usually dont take anything because i know i will be focused on other stuff. if not i may take it because i just dont feel like dealing with it. another day i may decide to do my relaxation techniques: hot bath, read, jigsaw and other
puzzles, wargames, model building, meditation, biking.

my doctor told me to take the damn things when i need it. keep me informed pand we will adjust based on your usage. you have them for a reason so use them.
