does its effect last all day and evening and night if you take it once in the morning?
or do you have to take it in the morning and at around dinner time (6PM?) to cover the evening and night as well as the day?

In reply to question for anyone who has tried XANAX XR, posted by chess on February 29, 2004, at 12:54:15
My doctor prescribed it twice daily for me. I take 1mg about 7:00am and 1mg at 7:00pm. One 1mg dose in the morning wasn't doing much so instead of moving me up to 2mg once in the morning (which might make me tired) he prescribed 1mg twice daily. Also in reality it only lasts about 12 hours.

i tried xanax xr. my trial didn't last very long. i went right back to the regular stuff. in my experience, the xr didn't last 24 hours like it's supposed to. i took 2mg in the morning, and 2mg in the evening, and i still woke up feeling anxious. xanax xr is too subtle for me. i personally really like the immediate and noticable calming effect regular xanax has on me. i guess this is also what makes it so addictive, but luckily, my pdoc was willing to let me choose what to be on. plus, xanax xr is incredibly expensive, especially if you take it twice a day. good luck, cb

I tried it for anxiety but it put me to sleep all day - didn't really help me with the anxiety and I still had my anger issues.. I think it should be a short term drug for sure..
