> I can't comment on the XR other than to say that I've heard it doesn't release as it should so people have to use regular xanax too. Love Phillipa
>It's not that it doesn't release as it should, rather it only lasts about 17-18 hours for most people (not the full 24 hours). For me the XR is amazing. So you can either take it in the morning so that if you do have any withrawl effects they happen while your sleeping or you can do what I do and use 2 doses. I take 1/2 the dose in the morning and 1/2 at night. Works like a charm!
But then again, I'm weird. Xanax gives me energy and wakes me up. For most people it puts them to sleep or at least makes them tired. Just call me Ms. Paradoxical Reaction (happens with everything I've ever taken). :-)
