I take 3mg of xanax a day for anxiety.
For sleep you are better off to take traziadone at 100 to 50 mg 1/2 hour before you go to bed.
And any kind of xanax is extermely addictive!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS it is not the amount of xanax that you take, it is the length of time that you are on xanax that creates the addiction.
