yeah but a higher dose would help, otherwise ask for lunesta, it'll knock you out and relax you the next day...
take what you are prescribed. dont take more than 25mg. look at all the people that have died because they took more thinking they needed more to sleep. the first time you take more than the prescribed amount will only lead to you getting used to it then needing more and more over time until one day you end up overdosing
i wanna recommend melatonin. it is the chemical your brain produces to make you go to sleep. you can take anywhere from 5 - 8mg. but just half a milligram will make you virtually pass out the first time. you do get used to it but i have never had to go over 8 mg to be able to sleep. and i have insomnia due to an overactive mind from anxiety
Whether you feel worse in the evening it may intend that the 0.25mg is not enough for you. Ask your doctor to increase the dose to the level that you feel good all day. You may ask to try other product as xanax does not work well for every one. Ask your doc for pattern to try first. Also if you are over tired when going to poor, it will trigger anxiety, so try to go to poor when you are not over tired.
