Xanax XR is once a day dosing, 15-24 half life. Regular Xanax is a few hours and instant euphoria. I've taken regular Xanax before and had high anxiety when I would try to stop. With Xanax XR, I've stopped before and because of the long half life have had no problem. Because it's once a day dosing many people with addictive behaviors that could not take regular Xanax before can handle Xanax XR because you just take it once a day. I know Klonopin has a long half life but it made me much more groggy and depressed, which made it harder to stop for me.
