I have on several occasions, and it was 2mg. It did help and seemed to come on rather quickly, but it failed to maintain the comfort level for too short a time, so my doctor scratched it and prescribed Ativan, which is similar to it but lasts much longer.

Yes the effects of xanax are very different from person to person. You should feel an over all calm feeling, maybe even sleepyness. It also can effect your motor skills so don't drive, or work on a backho or anything like that!

Xanax is like the number one medication that is good for panic/anxiety. It is very addictive so be careful. Yes, it works pretty darn well compared to all of those lousy antianxiety and antidepressants. good luck and do not drink alcohol with them.... trust me. lol.

yes thats a pretty big dose. I was on xanax for several years for the most part it was helpful but sometimes it did seem to make me feel more tense.......so good luck

It is a life saver...but be careful..it is highly addictive and can cause seizures when trying to get off of it...try taking half of one, or even a fourth of one until you see how much you really need...it is great for panic and anxiety attacks...but be careful with this 'miracle' worker...
