No. Tolerance means that you need more and more to get the same effect. So if 0.5 mg three times a day worked for a couple months and then you felt anxious like before and required 1 mg three times day, and then 1.5 mg three times a day, etc. that's tolerance. Then there is habituation, which just means if you stop taking the med, you'll feel uncomfortable or worse. If you are taking it simply because it works, great!
