Yo, I started off on Xanax .5 mg daily but ended up taking more. Some days I'd do .25 and other days I'd do 1mg+ then I got prescribed klonopin too. I was doing .5mg+ daily on top of .25mg xanax a day and now I'm on .75mg of xanax after only 2 months of it. I'm going to my doctor soon to get valium and taper off because I'm realizing what I'm doing to myself. I quit benzos cold turkey and 2 days later my hand wouldn't stop shaking and had very heightened anxiety. Please be very careful not to increase your dose, if anything take less even if it's only helping your anxiety just a little. Benzo withdrawals are no fucking joke, don't go to far into it.
