My dosage is .5 mg at bedtime, but I usually cut the pill in half. It does not take much to knock me out. I’ve taken six or seven sleeping and anti-anxiety meds over the last 25 years. Xanax is the best. Ambien worked for me for over a decade before unexpectedly spinning up into a monster. Ambien and Lunesta both cause extreme agitation now. I disliked Klonopin because it was so slow to metabolize. Rozerim had no effect at all.

The Hollywood crowd who liked to booze it up and pop Xanax is what created the hysteria mainly. IIRC .25 is the lowest dosage same as a halved .5 pill {.125 mg if you half a .25 MG}. I weigh about 250 pounds so it takes a half MG to do the trick. Also during a bad attack away from home I'll pop one under my tounge to head off a full scale attack with seizures. The Disability Examiner told me about that trick. The Xanax being consistent has also stopped the Brain Fog Attacks.

First attack I had I was on the interstate doing 75 MPH with suddenly no idea where I was, how I got where I was at, where I was going, or how long I'd been there. Scared the hell out of me the first couple of times. Now I usually head it off if I can.
