I didn't take them at the same time. I used to take xanax and then my Dr. switched me to clonazepam which is a cousin to xanax. He switched because it lasts a little longer(I think 6 hours and xanax lasts 4).

I take it on a regular schedule morning, noon, and night. If you stop it suddenly you can end up in the hospital. One would need to wean off the med per Dr. instructions if you decided to stop it.

They didn't lose their effectiveness, but depending on my anxiety level I take .5 mg or 1mg tablets.
I started out taking xanax "as needed", but ended up needing it on a rugular basis long term (probably for life) as anxiety disorder runs in my family. It's a chemical imbalance. I consider taking the med like taking diabetes medication, I just need it to live a better life. But that's just me, everyone is different.

Quote:

When you took the Xanax and clonazepam everyday did your doctor say that was alright? I have been worrying pretty much everyday about money and I also can't relax lately due to it. I would like to stay on something everyday, instead of as needed like my doctor prescribed it. Especially Xanax, b/c its easy on my stomach. Did you have any side effects after taking it for so long? Did it loose its effectiveness? I've heard that can happen with Xanax. I am just curious for myself. Thanks !
