Does Xanax XR provide better relief for anxiety and panic attacks?
A question was posted by countryboy1969 on 9 Feb 2012, seeking feedback on whether Xanax XR would work better than Xanax IR for severe panic attacks. The user had been taking Xanax IR 1mg four times a day for many years for their anxiety disorder but still experienced panic attacks at times. Their doctor had prescribed 2mg Xanax XR once a day, and the user was concerned about its effectiveness.
Several users shared their experiences with Xanax XR and IR. Some found Xanax XR to be more effective in managing their anxiety and panic attacks, while others preferred Xanax IR for its immediate relief. Some users also mentioned trying other benzodiazepines or antidepressants to manage their symptoms.
It is important to note that medication effectiveness can vary from person to person, and it is essential to work closely with a healthcare provider to find the right treatment plan for individual needs.
