> hi tepi--
> compared to ativan and klonopin, i've found that xanax works best for me, too. i've been prescribed as much as 1mg four times a day, plus sometimes some klonopin, too. maybe it's just me, but i work up a tolerance really quickly. within a month or so, i went from 0.25mg doses of xanax to 1mg. the sleepiness should pass so that you're left with just the anxiety relief... sorry, i don't know of other meds that might help you since you've already ruled out a bunch of them. one thing i do sometimes is to take half a klonopin and half a xanax so that i get longer relief but with the xanax short-term kick. maybe you can try that?

Agter the 4 mg of Xanax , do you still feel that you are becoming tolerant to that dose?
I appreciatte your help.
