Xanax Tolerance

[soupynoodle]

I use alprazolam a few times a week and am noticing a reduction in its effect. How long should I remain abstinent to get the same anxiolytic effect?

Try at least 2 weeks. If you can make it a month or two, all the better.

i too use benzos intermittently (?) like some days in a row then stop, or every other day, and at least for me, spending one week without them is enough to get back to zero tolerance. of course if you do benzos all the time for a long period of time it's gonna take longer, but, yeah, just my 2 cents.

It depends how much you're using. If it's a low dose like .5 I would wait around 5 days.
