2 mg of Xanax XR did not help much with GAD. If I take 1 mg of regular Xanax, it will stop a panic attack in 20 minutes and relieve ALL anxiety - but it only lasts maybe 2 hours. Regular Xanax gives me a drugged, high feeling that I don't like. However, I still carry Xanax for panic attacks and that's the only time I take it.
It's been a while, but the clonazepam sedation went away after I think 3 or 4 weeks and is no longer a problem.
Guess we all react differently.
