In reply to Re: Xanax XR for Social Anxiety - any experiences ?, posted by awatts on September 14, 2004, at 18:57:44
I have been taking xanax for years, I did try the XR, didnt like it. I felt sleepy all day and did not like the idea that during an "anxiety" moment, I couldnt take another since it was all day...So, i went back to 2mg of the reg. xanax. But like the last post said, you build up a tolerance. (it took me about 3 yrs) but yesterday, I went to my pdoc and told her that I had a panic attack while taking xanax .05mg and asked her if i should go up to 3mg daily. She said no, and then put me on klonopin. So, thats where I am. I think it is better for SP, since from my experiance xanax only prevented (for the most part) panic attacks. But did nothing for my social "fears"...
Good Luck
