Yes, I have been on xanax in the past, and you should be fine.  I would agree with beefree that you shouldn't try to compensate and to just go back to your regular dosage tomorrow.

Yes you should be okay. Don't try compensate by taking less tomorrow, just get back on your regular routine. You can definitely mention it to your doctor if you're concerned, but my guess is the most you'll feel is an increase in side effects.

All the best.
