taking it for years? the extended release ones? do you build a tolerance at all?

hello, how many xanax do u take a day? and do u take them every day? I try not to, but if i feel anxiety ill take 1/2 of it in the day and 1/2 at bed time to sleep. But i bought a herb called deep sleep from my massage theripist. Im trying it to see if it works. xanax works too, i just want to see if i can use less of the xanax.I was using the white xanax pill now i use the pink xanax pill. Thanks for your reply.

I have the 2ml sticks. I take 1 ml in the morning going to work and 1 when leaving work.
I am feeling better about my aniexty but now I am hearing the horrible withdrawals I am going to go thru when I get off of it? God knows this is going to be a slow process. I have been on it 14 years. My aniexty came back and I had to double the dose. Is anyone taking as much as me?

My goal is to finish the program which I am starting to feel better, and slowly get off of the xanax. I know it is going to be real hard to do. I function at work. That is when I mostly take it. I am working to get onto the
pink ones.....
Thanks for your reply......
