A member asked:
I'm having a bad anxiety attack, can i take alprazolam right now to calm down? my dosage is 1mg before bed, i always only take half though

Try in small doses: Alprazolam is a medication for panic attacks however works well in small dosages as one of the side effects is sedation. If 1mg puts you to sleep, try using quarter mg for panic attacks. Do consult your psychiatrist though.
