I have been on Xanax over 6 years .. I am prescribed 1mg up to 3mg a day.. I seldom take the morning dose .. But I do take 2 mg at nite per my pdocs instructions to help me sleep .. I cut back to 1 mg here and there . but altho I do not have addiction problems . Taking benzios daily will cause your body to get use to the medication ,whereas if you suddenly stopped it you could have seizures .. So if your wanting to even get off them ask your Pdoc for a taper schedule ..

My Pdoc has no problem with me on benzios long term.
