Andrea,
I also take Xanax but I don't have to worry right now about getting up at a certain time, and try to function(thank God! I'd never make it!), so the drowsiness

isn't a problem for me right now. . .but I have had to in recent times past and I understand what you mean. Your feet feel like they're filled with lead, eyeballs at half mast

- I totally understand. Can you handle caffeine? (I can't.) I get the heebie jeebies, so I don't know which is worse. I was going to suggest a big shot of caffeine just before, or during a time when you have to be at yourself.

Let me know how you're doing

Hi!

i have been taking .5 mg. twice a day of Xanax and have noticed the groggyness has decreased quite a bit, it tooka bout three weeks.
maybe you could lower your dose a little (under the doc's supervision).
try and rough it out, it will get better!
