Helps me sleep and relax.i take .5 mg for years sometimes having to take 2 -1 mg depending on severity of anxiety and depression in addition to my diagnosed insomnia. I struggle whether or not to take during day despite overwhelming anxiety since for me it is sleep inducing. When bad I take half -.25 and am ok...no side effects other than what it is recommended for. Am very pleased.

I take .25-.5 mg at a time 6 times a day. Sometimes I'll take 1mg. I learned as long as I am not tired my dose is correct. Thank Gof for alprazolam. Valium is not strong enough. I can get much more done taking alprazolam. I think about what I have control over and not worry about stupid stuff.

Xanax is the ONLY thing that allows me to sleep.Most of the time..I have tried EVERYTHING...Nothing works.Xanax is te only thing that works and taking 2 mgs at bed time,will help me sleep within a couple of hours...I am so jealous of people that can just...lie down and go to sleep.Sometimes? I hate them//Recently went FIVE days w/out any xanax.Coincidently,it was also FIVE days without sleep...Without this? Id never sleep and just....fade away into the ether......

Other effects are Rapid Heartbeat - Headaches - Dizziness - Not able to focus. Thank goodness I took it one time only!Read More Read Less

have been on this medication this July 8th, 2009 - I am taking .25mg for a recent Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). I have no side effects so far, Thank God! I have no side effects with this. I am off it soon. It worked during the recovery of my Mini-Stroke. Remember this works for me, not everyone will have the same rssults. With the proper Diet and Excerise it does work.
