What Is The Difference Between Xanax And Xr

i ordered xanax and got xanax xr what is the difference? ## There's a big difference. Xanax XR is an extended release tablet. Typically you take one every12 hours whereas the regular Xanax you take one every 4 hours or so. ## I completely agree with the answer above my own.

I am currently taking 2mg of Xanax twice day, If I switched over to the extended release, woul I stay at the same dose? ## If you switched to the controlled release, you'd still have to take more than one tablet in a day, to hit your 4mgs. The maximum dosage available in the controlled release tablet is 3mgs. Your doctor may want you to try that and see if it is enough to get you through the day, but ultimately, that is a decision you will have to discuss with them. Since this is a Benzodiazepine, it can be addictive and can cause side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, headache and irritability.

I am on 2mgs 5x a day would the xr be better cuz been on this dose cpl years n I still have severe anxiety n panic attacks. Would they lower the dose? ## The XR is a time released formulation and there is a 3mg dosage of it available. Generally, when switching a patient from the regular release to the XR, it is recommended that they be started with the same dosage they are currently taking, but that it be taken once daily. Learn more Xanax XR details here. The 10mgs you're currently taking is the max that is recommended daily. Have you discussed the issue with your doctor, yet? ## An entebded release tablet might me a good option, but as far as dosage adjustments that's completely up to your doctor.

Xanax 2mg white g3722. What is the difference between xanax 2mg extended release than my normal yellow xanax. Its like i barely feel any relief from the anxiety/paranoia??? ## Coloring and possibly the manufacturer. I have many of the G3722 Alprazolam pills and they are fine, unless they are fake? Where did they come from? ## And no, the tablets with the G 3722 marking are not time released, they are regular release tablets. This medication is a benzodiazepine that carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. What were the markings on the yellow ones? I can't answer the rest of your question without this additional information. ## The yellow ones were from walgreens.and had the fancy R039 i had no doudts ...
