5mg of xanax (alprazolam) who long for effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quick onset and end: A 0.5 mg dose of Alprazolam would typically start working within an hour and would probably not be noticeable much beyond about four to eight hours. I would talk to your prescribing physician for more information!
