I find the whole stigma surrounding Valium (a perfectly good medication) sadly laughable. The biggest problem with Valium is it doesn't work well for everyone (but none of the others do either).
Its long-lasting so you can take it in the morning and not be popping pills (or forgetting to) for the rest of the day. Its got a smooth up and smooth down and if God forbid you forgetting a dose you're going to have enough in your system you can probably make it through until you can take your next dose (after work, etc).
I think it has a lot of good qualities (it of course works for me, Xanax makes me tired and moody).
That said, has anyone had any experience withdrawing from Xanax with the XR or SR? I've read a bit about people not liking the effects of either the sustained or extended release (its probably pretty different then having it all hit your blood-stream right away) but it might be helpful during the withdrawal?
