"my doctor put me on xanax xr 2 mg and i have never felt better anxiety wise. i take it once a day in the morning and i am good for the entire day. since going on xanax xr, i have only had one panic attack and that was before my dose was increased from 1 mg to 2 mg of xanax xr. i recommend this medication to anyone with severe anxiety and panic attacks. i am currently disabled from my anxiety. i am hoping with my new medication regimen and therapy that i will eventually be able to go to college and work again. i also take regular xanax before bed-time if my anxiety is too severe since the xanax xr lasts me about 12 hours and i take it in the morning. i&#039;m also on risperdal, paxil cr, and propranalol for anxiety, panic disorder, ocd, and ptsd."
