Thank you for your help. Have you or friends stopped taking .5 mg of Xanax completely? It really sounds like so little but it’s so daunting. I usually take mine between six and seven in the morning daily. Knowing that it’s a short acting medication and done working within 6 to 8 hours made me think it would be easier to stop taking. It’s not like by 4 o’clock I’m losing my mind and chomping at the bit for another. Sometimes I’m a little more anxious than others, but I wait it out until the next morning. Really trying to get an idea of exactly what to expect. Thanks again!
