I've taken benzos for years off and on. I'm prescribed .5mg a day. Usually, I can take that with some caffeine and get a good, energetic buzz. I came across some 1mg, so I'm like "cool !" So the past week I've taken 1mg at a time, one to two times a day with a ton of caffeine and all it does it make me a zombie! I hate it! Xanax usually gives me a nice energy boost, but somehow Ive F-d that all up. Can someone please tell me what's going on and how to get back to where I enjoyed taking them.
 
You were fine with .5 a day so why did you jump to 1 mg twice a day? Benzos are tranquilizers so you're not going to feel more energy.
 
Yep, maybe the positive effects on the lower dose you mentioned are actually a relief from tension/anxiety? But as T. C pointed out, the more you take, the more sedated you will get. Stick with the dose that works ;)
