"in my experience, alprazolam can be extremely effective against anxiety, considerably addictive, and can easily create tolerance if the dosages are not carefully managed.

it should not be used as a sleeping aid, since it tends to lose its hypnotic effects after some time of continuous usage.

to avoid the tolerance and addictive issues, i recommend people to only take alprazolam in or before moments of anxiety. for cases of social anxiety, i recommend one to take alprazolam, 2 hours before social interaction. the dosage is, in my view, subjective, thus one should discover his optimal dosage, on an incremental basis. i personally take 1 to 1.5mg, 2 hours before leaving home, and then sustain it throughout the day with 1mg individual dosages."
