In reply to MY Effexor experience and a Xanax XR question, posted by TrishaTreasure on August 2, 2003, at 5:55:56
The XR version of Xanax essentially feels the same as the immediate-release formation, but with two major differences.
1. It doesn't come on as quickly as Xanax, so I find it helpful to set my alarm for an hour before I plan on waking up so that I can take my Xanax XR, go back to sleep for an hour, and wake up feeling great. I do this with my other medication also (Ultram).
2. There are no highs and lows as there are between doses of Xanax. It's very smooth and even for the whole duration (which, for me, is 24 hours--for a friend of mine, it only lasts about 12).
