Anyone on Xanax XR?


21 years ago 0 30 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I am taking .5 mg a day. I started it in the evening, just so if it made me drowsy I wouldn't notice it. I haven't seen any affects from it left over the next day. I only take it once a day. .75 mg might be hard to do - I am not sure if you can break tablets or not, but they come in .5 and 1 mg and up......I have permission to take up to 1 mg a day if I feel I need to as I was taking .5 mg of the regular Xanax and it was starting not to give me full relief. So far the .5 of the XR is working OK so we'll see. I am so happy you have access to it - good luck and let me know how you do with it! Kelly

What dose do you take and how often? What time of the day? If I take .25 3 x's a day.. Then would I take 75mg once a day? I don't know quite how that works.. I see my Psyc. soon. They have Xanax XR at my pharmacy!!

Hello! Yes, I just started it and so far, so good, I don't have the ups and downs of the regular Xanax, of which I was taking up to .75 mg a day in about 4 doses. It does wear off quick and I found myself watching the clock to see when I could take another and timing my outings around that! All that added more anxiety. I hope you have been able to get your hands on some of it - it seems to be great! It is brand new and hard to find, but Walmart got it for me in my small town, so I am sure you can gain access to it to - I had to try several pharmacies, so don't give up!

I just heard about Xanax XR, I had no idea they had an extended release pill. I take Xanax .25 3 x's a day. It is the only drug that has worked to keep my anxiety under "control". I've noticed over the years of taking Xanax, that it wears off pretty fast (For me about 2 hours) I already called my Psych. doc and left a message about it. Is this a newer form of the drug? Has anyone taken this yet? Any input would be appreciated! THANKS
