I take 1mg of Xanax 2X daily only when needed, which lately has been every day. I've been so stressed. I have been known to add an extra 1mg in the middle of the day if I'm still over-stressed.

I have absolutely no side-effects whatsoever from Xanax. It works fantastic. I call it a wonder drug. I don't know what I would do without it. I also take Klonopin 2x daily but not as an anti-anxiety med, I take it for Restless Leg Syndrome. I need it so that I don't have any problems with my legs when I go to bed. Also, my Klonopin does absolutely nothing for me as far as anxiety is concerned. Doesn't even touch it.
Larry - I noticed that Xanax was listed as maybe having some sort of problem with Tegretol, which I also take. Do you know what effect there is? Oh, and btw, nice to see yet another familiar face over here.
