Amelie1980 Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 What I generally do is ask for the 0.5mg tablets and I break them in half. If I'm having a rough day, I take half of one tablet, sit down and have a cup of tea....then if I still feel overly-anxious a couple of hours later, I take the other half, which is enough to make me sleepy and relaxed. 0.25mg of Xanax isn't enough to get you addicted (unless you over-use it), nor is it enough to make you loopy...it is just barely enough to take the edge off most of the time...however, like I said, sometimes I need the other half. More days are going by lately where I can make it on just a half a tablet for the whole day. I had 1mg of valium this morning. I feel a bit spaced out at work. Would I be able to work on xanax?

Amelie1980 Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 generally speaking, xanax makes you feel less spacey than valium. Valium is horrible. when I took the whole 2mg tablet I could barely walk. it was awful.

Any benzodiazepine will do that to you in high enough doses. 2mg of either valium OR xanax would have basically the same effect. 2mg is a LOT.

Author crashvector Posted January 17, 2013 Author Posted January 17, 2013 why on earth did my doctor give me such a high dose then I cut the tablet into quarters & it did nothing. half is too much....don't know what to do. I'm 5'7" and 175 lbs. 0.5mg of Xanax is enough to make me VERY sleepy and slightly uncoordinated. 0.25mg is just enough to take the edge off of any anxiety I'm feeling unless I am EXTREMELY anxious. You should remember, the goal of these kinds of medications is to help RELIEVE your anxiety...not make it go away completely. You can't numb yourself completely to what you are feeling and still learn to heal. If you are in the United States, the process goes like this: You call the doctor's office where you got the Valium. You tell the nurse that the Valium that the doctor gave you is too much for you, and you would like to try a lower dose of Xanax instead. they may ask you to come back in and explain to the Dr what's going on, but it shouldn't be an issue.
