I have taken xanax recreationally before and usually at a dose of 2mg. Unfortunately, as many know, it is a short acting drug, so the effects don't last long. I got one bar off my friend that I have saved for a stressful day, and I wanna make it last throughout the day. Would 1mg at a time be a good therapeutic dose, just for anxiety and stress relief? Or even just 0.5mg?

2mg of Xanax for somebody without a tolerance is a lot!
I'd suggest you try starting with 0.5 mg amounts at a time, & if that doesn't seem to be a high enough dose for you then increase it to 1mg at a time. You certainly won't need more than 1mg at a time for any therapeutic purposes. 0.5mg should be enough.

.5mg should be plently just to take the edge off and relieve stress/anxiety. im 6'2" 150lbs and it definately works (slight tolerance). You may even want to consider .25mg to start because i have many friends prescribed the .25 tablets 3 times daily and the say it helps them out a real lot

I agree with the rest 0.5mg is fine.

i agree .5mg is a good starting point.. can always take another .5mg= 1mg total and that is also a therapeutic dose.
