I was on 1mg 2x a day as needed. On days I had bad anxiety I would normally only have to take one. For sleep it is great. Me personally, it kept me at a level of "sedated" but "funtioning". So if I needed to sleep, I could. If I needed to work, I could as well. There is a lot of negative literature about it, but as with any benzo (or pretty much perscription drug if we are realistic), you can get a tolerance as well as your body become dependant.
Good luck! Hope it works.
