Cant take Xanax in the morning anymore

[Karrmaa]

I've been taking Xanax for about 3 years now, I'm aware that some of you have been doing it for decades. I'm curious if any of you take it early on in the day or do you wait to take it around the afternoon. I used to take them throughout the day but for some reason when I take my 2mg dose during the day I feel very depressed and sometimes angry. I don't know if anyone can relate to this or if its just me. I sometimes force myself to wait even if i'm having anxiety.

Hi,
I love the hell out of alprazolam (xanax) but rarely do I eat it for breakfast. Usually it is afternoon or later before dosing; and then it will start at .5 and another .5 around 4-5pm and there are no issues.
OK, then...
If I happen to eat xanax for breakfast... i will continue to dose every hour or two at .5mg and cruise through the day with ease (albeit I may be a bit "off" but nothing to worry about). It adds up and I'm good as moving and focus is my job, really. When I get off is when it all comes on me from the xanax and all I can do is sit there for an hour or so. May take a nap.
The anger part I would assume is from over-dosing. Maybe try to not eat the whole 2mg try 1/2 or 3/4. Alpraxolam will drive me mad if I take too much too often: Especially if I am drinking alcohol. I do not do this anymore (drink and xanax). Learned my lesson a couple times.
Here's a general google of this anger thing with bluelight.org add ended.
Welcome and hope you stick around.
Take care and stay strong.
Peace

Thank you so much i'll try your strategy with a .5 hopefully it works.

Lower doses might help. I take mine in the morning because I am prescribed it off label for GI pain. Mine are only .5mg pinks though so it's easy to avoid going past my desired dosage.

To me is the same, it gives very strange and dangerous thoughts, depression, anger, fear, angry, suicidal thoughts, homicidal thoughts, violent thoughts, things that I don't like to share even to myself

So I broke one of my bars into 4 pieces and took a .5 in the morning and I feel great no depression and no anger it was definitely because I was taking a high dose. I really appreciate you guys and this site, its great! I was browsing on it for over a year now and just recently made an account. I love how everyone is open and very welcoming!

2 mg is a lot

Question:
Are you prescribed 2mg dosage?
If one is at a high dose for extended periods it may be a good idea to not taper dosage too quickly. There may be some negative side effects that can be managed with proper titration. Hate to say it but that uplift in mood and feeling better may turn south real quick if the drop in dosage is too rapid.
Be careful.
Imma be around for a minute as i have tomorrow off.

Your brain created this. I remember, I had a friend once, if she slept in the afternoon she would get headaches.

Yes I am perscribed 2mg but most of the time I abuse it. I have been trying to tamer but its the most difficult thing I have ever done. Ive been taking .5-1mg during the day now but I need 2mg at night regardless.

Ive been taking .5-1mg during the day

If it's uncomfortable (my bet is yes) instead of normal 2mg dose 1.5mg (3/4 bar). Get stable and work it down slowly. If 1.5mg gets you to a manageable state... stay there for a couple weeks before cutting dosage again; if 1.5mg doesn't get one right in a coupla days, well we go up a little. Shit in the brain has to readjust (some here can give the proper workings and may help with the action/reaction thing).
Prescribed 8mg a day?
Let's see if we can get back to the therapeutic dose (as prescribed).
It's gonna take some self-control and a for reals want to take control of this substance. It's lovely (alprazolam) but OD-ing sucks and things run amok. I know as many others here.
Working a lot this weekend so if I am slow to respond eat .5 (I am and will be until tomorrow night); we will continue this if one wishes.
Got sun and mon off, too.
Nowhere else to go but here. Ha
