Has anyone ever taken Extended release Xanax? If so do you think

it works better than regular fast acting xanax?

Xanax XR was the first tranquilizer I got.. I'm not sure if it's any better, but you're not as out of the loop as on the regular Xanax. Better test it before driving, though. Hehe.  Xanax ...Extended Release...

What are you taking it for?

I took it to prevent panic attacks, but since it's slow acting, it was no use, I couldn't tell in the morning whether I should take it or not. Maybe it's better for daily use... I switched to regular Xanax pretty soon.

It made me more tired and didn't really help my anxiety.

Xanax XR works very well for me so long as I take it every day at the same time. The point is to keep a constant serum level. I have extreme anxiety otherwise, a lot more than the occasional anxiety attack. I think I felt tired the first couple of days, and then I was fine... just not in a constant panic attack.
