"i urge anyone to start on the smallest dose as i was pleasantly surprised that a tiny nibble of 2mg worked amazingly quick and helped curtail a full blown attack.  i have taken a full 2 mg at once when panic attack was at worst. i simply fell asleep and awoke with same anxiety.  if i take the small dose as i feel the attack coming on, it just stops. i know everyone is different but i have always been within the mindset that the stronger the better with meds. that has not been the case with zanax for me. i also keep in mind this is a med that your body will eventually need more of for equal benefit.  it&#039;s a miracle med for those who have unexplained fear. it has saved my marriage!"
