What's up with Xanax Extended-Release? I've run across the mention of this drug, but there is practically zero information on the net about it. It appears it is available in some other countries, but not the U.S.
I remember Xanax worked quite well for me a few years back, until the duration of effect became annoyingly short. I'm talking 2 hours, and it was time to "run to the water fountain" for another dose! The medicine had a rather nasty "rebound effect" which was NOT comfortable. I have usually discouraged people from choosing that type of benzo for that reason, but an extended-release form could put a whole new light on things.
I switched to Klonopin eventually (not as good of an effect, but it provided a switch) and later changed to Valium (sort of a best of both worlds).
