I was on Xanax, .50/4 QID for 7 years and never needed to increase my dosage to maintain my anxiety and panic disorder. My psydoc took me off them 2 yrs ago as the sedative sideaffect was affecting my life. I went two years without any use of a benzo and now have been on Klonopin for the past 3 1/2 months, .50/ BID. I'm not happy about having to be on a benzo again, they scare me, especially Klonopin, and especially having gone through the withdrawal of coming off the Xanax, I was definately physically addicted to it, but I had to choose between not functioning at any level to getting some sort of life back. To sum it up, in my experience, the need to increase the benzo for continued response wasn't an issue.
