In reply to REAL benefit from Xanax XR vs. Xanax IR, posted by jealibeanz on December 27, 2006, at 23:36:27
I find that xanax ir works just fine for me and have taken it since it came on the market. Seems my metabolism is such that I can go many hours between doses (up to 10-11) but I try to space it evenly taking less now than I did 25 years ago. Never tried Klonopin and don't want to since if you do a search here on babble you will find K is depressing to many people. I take 1.75 mg. xanax per day, down from 3mg. which I took for many years. It works for me but wish I never took the first pill :(. Withdrawals are real and not fun so when I do reduce it's miniscule. Yes a benzo is a benzo and all have w/d but xanax has such a short half life and no metabolites so I reduced by using valium instead and found I hated valium due to it's depressant properties. I actually find that xanax does have a bit of an a/d effect on me.
