What Symptoms Can Be Expected From A Child Who Has Taken Xanax?

My two year old granddaughter got into her Mothers purse and took 1 mg xanax. Since the Mom can't find the xanax and she's not sure if she took one or not, what kind of symptoms would she have? Should she go to the hospital? The Mother has a presciption from her doctor.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Thank you for following up. I figured your concern. Alprazolam(xanas) is medicine from group of benzodiazepin,which can give 1.Dizziness, drowsiness
2. Vomiting,nausea
3.Fast heart rate
4.Low good pressure
5.Blurred vision
6. Allergy
Your daughter doesn't have even dizziness and vomiting, then don't worry,if you are confuse give to her charcoal 1 tab immediately and take her in ER for washing of her stomach

Best regards
