I saw your post below and hope you can help. I have been taking 1 mg of xanax ea night to help sleep. I started w/.25 about 3 mo ago. Now, I am not sleeping much again and want to increase the dosage. However, I am about to do DE IVF(a form of in vitro fertilization) and told them I am taking xanax and they told me it is ok now, but I have to stop before the procedure which will probably be in 3 wks. My psychologist told me she thought I could have w/drawal symptoms if I just stop. Do you think this could happen on such a low dose. Is 3 wks enough time to start lowering the dose. I am also afraid I won't sleep at all if I stop (I was only sleeping about 2 hrs a nite). I appreciate any help.
