A member asked:

I meant to say does half of a .25mg of xanax (alprazolam) daily do any good for anxiety?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly.: While 0.25 is usually considered to be a low (or even subtherapeutic) dose, for some it might be effective. Everyone responds to medication differently.
