In reply to Xanax XR Duration ?, posted by becksA on September 30, 2004, at 21:35:49
When prescribed Xanax XR for the first time, my doctor was aware of this and prescribed me 1mg twice daily. I actually doubted him at first because it is suppose to be a "once daily" med, but that is more marketing than anything. If you look at the prescribing information, it says the half life is 12 hours so that's how my doc prescribed it. I took one 1mg tablet at 7:00am and another at 7:00pm and it worked great. It was a little more expensive that way but it works much better, no ups and downs.
