Does it actually help you sleep or just calm you?
Less than 1mg does nothing for me ....



Yes. I sleep though the night. I also take 50 of Trazadone every night. When I can't sleep with that or feel extra wound up I add the .25 Xanax or Ativan.

Since you're not supposed to drive while on Xanax, I usually only take it at night. If calming measures don't work and I'm headed for a panic attack, I take it during the day.

I am not 02:19, but I am prescribed .25 and for me it just takes the edge off. I don't take it daily though, only as needed.

I take it only when absolutely necessary; like before a plane trip or MRI. I have claustrophobia. Can't seem to find my pill bottle now, but I take one pill, as prescribed.

How much do you take and at what time(s) of the day?
