I love the XR 3mg xanax it works well and lasts long. I don't get the good buzz feelings ,but I don't have the anxiety like I did before. God bless the 3 mg xr xanax.....!!!!! ## I'm glad that it's working for you. However, since Xanax is a Benzodiazepine, it can be habit forming, so you do need to be very careful and only use it with your doctor's approval. You should also be aware that if you take it for a long period of time, it is not safe to stop abruptly, because doing so may cause seizures.

what is the difference between xanax and xanax xr? I take 4 mg of xanax a day, would i be better off on xanax xr? ## The only difference between Xanax and Xanax XR is the XR, which simply means extened release. XR works by releasing the drug in the body throughout the day. Alprazolam, also known under the trade names Xanax, Xanor and Niravam, is a short-acting drug of the benzodiazepine class used to treat moderate to severe anxiety disorders, panic attacks, and is used as an adjunctive treatment for anxiety associated with moderate depression. It is also available in an extended-release form, Xanax XR, both of which are now available in generic form. Alprazolam possesses anxiolytic, sedative, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant properties. To learn more click on the link belo...

Does anyone know what color the 2 mg's are? I have the 1 mg which is a light yellow. ## xanax come in the colors of white, peach/orangish color, blue and white bars. the light yellow 1mg is probably a valium. ## no, i know the color of the regular xanax. What i need is the color of the timed released xanax. the 1mg is light yellow. but there is a 2 mg and a 3 mg. ## From what I know the 1 mg is yellow, with X on one side, and 1 on the other side. 2 mg is blue, X on one side, and 2 on the other side. 3 mg is greenish, X on one side, and 3 on the other side. Hope this helps. Jorie ## Thanks, i think that answers my delima. Have you tried the timed release yourself? and if so, do you like it? ## xanax time release 3mg are light green. there ARE generic light yellow 1mg bars that some p...

ladder shape bar ## small oval yellow pill. xanax possibly 5mg. not sure says 106 s ....... ## I never heard of sa zanax any higher than 2mgls. If there is one higher it would quite likely be from a foreing country. Highest zanax in U.S. is the white or grean 2mlg. I was on a methadone clinic for almost 15 years. Everyone did zanax no pne ever even claimed to have zanax stroger than 2 mlg. ## Clearly we know there is a 3 MG Xanax XR ## Actually the small oval yellows are .5mg..which is a half mg..

I am prescribed 2 mg xanax 3 times a day. My question is, is there a higher mg pill out there. My Dr. said that was the highest dose but my friend said her Dr. gave her a higher dose pill than mine I'm just wondering. ## There is a time Release version of Xanax that is 3 mg but the 2 mg bar is the strongest pill. They do not make a Five mg Xanax ## Thank you for that information. I didn't even know about there being a time release one. ## @rainewillburn, The time released Xanax is referred to as Xanax XR. It contains 3mg of alprazolam and is a light green triangular shaped pill with an x on one side and a 3 on the other. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Alprazolam Details I hope this additional info helps! ## the highest Xanax is 2mg. bt they do have a 3 mg xr ...

What does a Xanax 2 XR look like? Round, blue with just a 2 imprint? ## The look of the pill and the imprint will actually vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, since the drug is available not in a generic form. This, it is impossible to say which pill you have unless you provide the imprint, then I can look it up for you. You can actually find blue pills in all different doses of Xanax, as well as a ton with that description that are not Xanax. That is why I removed the prior response to this, the answer was entirely misleading. ## Sorry, that should have said it is available NOW in a generic form, sorry for the typo. ## Also there is a xanax like sedative called nivram or something like that...it is one mg, but has a 2 prionted on it. ## And again, that 2 printed on it may only appl...

How should someone wean himself off Xanax XR 1 mg per day if he has been on it for one month for anxiety? ## I would say taking 0.5mg once a day and 0.25mg once a day for a week, then reduce to 0.25 twice a day for a week and finally 0.25mg once a day for a week. I've been on 2mg of XR for 10 years and I'm taking it much slower, but no longer than a month and that should work fine. ## I have been on 2 mg at bedtime for 17 years and now mr Dr. can't write them anymore. What should i do? ## Stopping this medication abruptly can cause a risk of seizures, according to FDA reports. Withdrawals may also cause rebound anxiety, nervousness, pain, and insomnia. Tommie, why can't your doctor prescribe them anymore? Weaning is usually done very slowly, to prevent withdrawal issues,...

Very specific information of how the xr xanax 1 milligram tablet works and if you had to make it instant release is it possible by crushing it or cutting it into little pieces or is there any kind of way? ## DO NOT ever crush up an extended release pill or one that is not scores as its not made to be broken

My doctor keeps telling me that there is no such thing as Xanax xr, but I have been on them before, so I'm confused!?! He also said that there was no such thing as Ambien xr, again have been on it before. So did they stop making them or is my doctor just stupid....cuz its really starting to get on my nerves when he acts like I'm delusional. ## There is even an XR Forum here as well! ## Xanax and it's generic equivalent (Alprazolam) are both available in extended release formulations. Example: "triangular, green pill, imprinted with X, 3" is identified as Xanax Xr (3mg) "round, blue pill, imprinted with X, 2" is identified as Xanax Xr (2mg) "square, yellow pill, imprinted with X, 1" is identified as Xanax Xr (1mg) "pentagonal, white pill, imprinte...

I take 4 mgs of xanax and 4mgs of xanax xr. The xr never worked well for me so the dr added the reg xanax for breakthru. how do I wean. I've been on them for 1and1/2 yrs. I don't like the side effects but how do you wean when xr can't be broken.I need to get off them ## I also had to gradually increase my dosage of Xanax to maintain the needed effectiveness. My Dr. started me on Klonopin, at my request, and I gradually got off Xanax in a couple of weeks. I am very satisfied with Klonopin & have not had to increase my dosage in 3 years. Best drug decision I ever made. ## I can only suggest talking to your doctor about it. There are lower doses of the Xanax XR available, so they should be able to prescribe a lower dosage to help you wean off. Stopping it abruptly can creat...

I need a prescription and I have yet to find a great doctor that takes my illness seriously and realizes I cannot function with severe stomach cramps and dirahhea. I have been to some psychiatrists and they say that they wasn't o wean me off the pills, but I know that I will not be able to function well or at all.

My daughter passed away at the age of 7 from cancer. 3 months after that my second oldest got a hold of a handgun that my boyfriend left laying around and shot herself in the head.

What does the Xanax XR 3 mg pill look like? ## Hmmm well it all depends because if you are talking about a generic form A.k.a. Alprazolam then it can be made by a number of different manufacturers. And each of them can have their own color, imprint codes, etc. Do you have any more specific details of what you are looking for such as the dosage or manufacturer? ## Yes, Rick is correct. Once a med is available in generic form, the way it can look is entirely up to the whit and whim of the manufacturer. There are no guidelines regulating how a pill has to look, only regarding the imprint on them. ## I am very interested in the appearance of xanax 3 mg. ## the pill is a yellow bar almost like the 2mg xanax but yellow not white ## I need a dr to prescribe me some, but I don't know if I n...

Can you take Baclofen & XanaX XR together? ## They can be taken together, but it must be done with caution and the dosages should be carefully evaluated, because both of these medications can cause depression of the central nervous system, which can be made worse by combining the two. Thus, you should know to watch for signs of a problem, which may include dizziness, severe drowsiness or sedation and shallow breathing. Learn more Baclofen and Xanax details here. Has your doctor instructed you to take them both?
