Xanax XR

[KateS10]

hi guys. I know I have posted in the past about Xanax . But my doc just prescribed me Xanax XR . ( its the extended release ).... just was wondering if anyone has been on that one before ? And how it has helped versus regular Xanax every so many hours .

Is it a 3 mg extended release? I’ve tried it and it works ok.

The difference is the as needed Xanax is for the out of the blue panic/anxiety attack hits you , then the as needed works better. If your in a state of generalized anxiety that your crawling out of your skin then the extended release is better.

Have you tried klonopin as it has a very long half life of 40 hours compared to Xanax at 6 hours

She said she is going to do the .5mg extended release ..... I have yet to pick up the script . I am currently taking .5mg Xanax 3 times a day right now ..... so I find I need it right in the morning and then again around 1 then again usually before bed ... I am in a constant state of what feels like constant fear and panic all day

I understand... so it’s worth a try as it’s a once per day long lasting medication.

Did you Dr say it was ok to take the as needed Xanax if you need it while on the extended tablet.

For me when I tried the extended release I needed the as needed to get me calmed down. So I just went back on the as needed. I hope it works for you. Best wishes John

no high and low, just stays in your system at a level dose. It'll take a while to get used to it but I think you'll find that it works great. Not a quick fix, but level...which is what you want.
