In reply to XANAX could bright mood and give more energy?, posted by eve70 on July 18, 2007, at 13:05:12
I have taken xanax for over 20 years, and I have not become tolerant to its effects as an anxiolytic and I also get a slight lift in mood from it, as in when I am due for my next dose, I can tell I feel sort of down sometimes!
I also seem to metabolize it more slowly than others here; I go from 7am until at least 2-3pm between doses, then a bedtime dose. It has worked perfectly for me, and I love it's effects. I do not, however, like tapering as the withdrawals are unpleasant. I did taper down and still it works for me! I will probably be on it the rest of my life, but I don't care because I have not reached tolerance w/d in all these years, and even if I go up in dose, it will be around 2.5mg. or so. Just my experience.
Oh, as far as more energy, I would say "no". Don't see how a benzo can give energy?
