I prefer those meds you take once a day, I would hate have to take a pill at noon (although not a deal breaker). There is the extended release alprazolam.
I read in the great "the prescriber's guide" by Stahl that "Clonazepam is a long-acting alprazolam-like anxiolytic and alprazolam XR is an even longer-acting clonazepam-like anxiolytic."I take clonazepam now and have done so for a very long time, I get by with once a day dosing. I take 2mg. Not sure what the equivalency for alprazolam is, literature suggests somewhere between 2-4mg.
