already not sleeping from .5mg less of xanax.

I already can't sleep, day one into the taper. I also took 6mgs of melatonin last night with my .5mg pill of xanax. any suggestions?? this is awful. exactly where I didn't want to be at this point.... hope everyone else is well.

wow, I just read that cigarette smoking decreases xanax in your blood by 50%. WOW. thats huge.... does this mean that if I wasn't a pack a day smoker I would've only needed 1mg this whole time? geez..50%?

sounds good, I'll try it. I'll let you know how it goes! :)

Unisom had helped me, try it.

which over the counter sleep aids would be good? thanks so much for your help.

Do as I told you, don't wean off 0.50mg , but 0.25mg, you will feel better, for the sleep buy some over the counter sleep aids pills, but don't abuse them.
