Thanks so much. I have heard others say that the XR is not as potent as the regular Xanax. I like the idea of once a day dosing, but not if it is not going to work as well.
> I've tried the XR as well as the regular- my amateur suspicion is that the "XR" wouldn't have any advantages over the regular for developing a tolerance, but don't know for certain. I think it just means you metabolize it slower over a day. However, I never found it as potent or effective.

It actually tends to boost my mood moreso than the Paxil I am taking. I am going to talk to my pdoc about the XR version to see if he would be willing to let me try that for use during the week.
