"alprazolam for me is an excellent medication. i have adhd and am 47 years old. a professional in business and have a somewhat stressful life, like many people. having gone through anxiety attacks, i found this medicine to be perfect to calm my mental state in 20-30 minutes after taking. a small dosage usually does what is needed, 1/2 of a 0.25 mg tablet. once every 4 hours 3 times a day for 2-4 days, don&#039;t take it as a quick fix, anxiety can bounce right back unexpectedly. keep a note pad with things to do and tell your doctor if you need more than one full 0.25 mg tablet dosage, as using it in larger amount can cause dependency."
