Xanax - Taking less of Xanax can make you feel better than taking more?

I agree. Since I was 9 years old I was prescribed them for abuse, PTSD, and a severe anxiety problems. The only other thing that help is Klonopin but I heard that micro dosing or taking less sometimes you feel a little better. Thanks for your opinion

You are welcome. I am sorry if I seem a bit harsh. But I hope you feel better.

Thank you, appreciate your honesty

It all depends on why you take it, what your issues are (anxiety, depression, both... ) and how long you have been taking benzos. I agree with the others that these are not drugs for the long term, only to be used for a few weeks/months at most. While not everybody builds up tolerance, most will. 5 mg per day is high dose and certainly if you can manage with 2 you should try to do so--and yes, will likely feel better on 2 as opposed to 5. Bottom line is, take as little as you can for as short a time as you can--if you don't absolutely need them don't take them. But if you have been on 5 mg for any length of time you will likely need to slowly go down to 2 mg or you will feel w/d symptoms.
