> So far I am still experiementing. I have a prescription for .5 mg twice a day. This (.5 mg)is a bit less than the equivilant amount of Klonopin I usually take so once a day is a step down. I have done the once a day once and found it hit just as quickly although more subtly, with less of the euphhoric feel and did last for about 24 hours, but as I said with less effect than the Klonopin I take. I will have to try taking 1 mg all at once. It did make me tired but was more tolerable than the immediate realease version.

> I have been taking benzos in one form or another on and off for 10 years so I know the nuaces (sp) and will update you when I have a better feel.I've been RX'd 0.5 mg Xanax XR twice a day as well, after being on Klonopin 0.5 twice a day for the last couple of months. I found that I did better on 1 mg of IR Xanax spread out over the day, with less sedation, so we're switching back. I'm hoping the XR doesn't sedate me, which has been one of the problems with Klonopin. I'm probably going to do a little experimentimenting, too: 0.5 mg twice a day versus 1 mg all at once. (The latter being more cost effective.) I'll update also with my results.
Best,
