I need your ideas and suggestions for my Xanax interdosing schedule change please as it is not going well.

I was on 2.5mg SID at bedtime for sleep with the occasional 0.5mg-1mg for situational anxiety. My symptoms appeared to be tolerance and interdose withdrawal. So as advised I began splitting the dose up multiple times a day two weeks ago.

I am dosing TID. In the morning I take 0.25mg. In the afternoon/evening I take 0.25mg. At night I take the balance of the dose which is 2.0mg.

After a few days of doing this I started to feel stoned all day and it is getting worse every day.

So does this mean I have not reached tolerance?

Am I not in interdose withdrawal from the Xanax? I can hardly stay awake on 0.25mg which is crazy because I used to not even be able to sleep on 4mg and I have been taking it for over 20 years.

Could taking it more frequently even though I am not increasing the daily dose make me this stoned even though I am taking only 0.25mg q8h twice a day in the daytime?

I don't think that I have moved in the last week or so. I just want to drop.

What's up with this?

Thanks
