Ok, Matt. Let me get this straight. you take 1.5 mg of Xanax Total dosage per Day? For how long now? I take them as well but I get the 2 mg. Bar's. I was on Valium for a long time. And you are right the Xanax doesent appear to be as Addicting as the Valuim was. I dont really have that hangover feeling the next morning. I Smoke every day also, But this helps with my recent surgery on my back.
