Hi Bob,
Xanax is a very potent med. I've found that .25 to .5 mgs is perfect for the initial anxiety you have on SSRI's. I suggest that you don't take it every day, only when you need to. Skipping a day or so will help your body not build up tolerance. If you can, you might try taking Klonopin. People don't build up a tolerance as quickly with it and the chances of being dependent on it are much lower.
