I've been prescribed .25mgs of Xanax to take as needed(not daily). So far I haven't taken any so I am unaware of how it will effect me. However, my question relates to the dosage amount. Can I take .75mgs or 1mg and still be fine? I am NOT looking to overdose or commit suicide. The reason I ask is that my sister is getting married soon and I am notorious for having panic attacks when in large groups of people. I want to make sure I am calm and relaxed throughout the event, and I don't feel like .25mgs would probably help me too much. So how will I feel if I take close to 1mg?

Does anyone have personal experiences as to how Xanax makes them feel? Does it really help prevent panic? Anyone use a high dosage like 1-2mgs? Thanks!
