Which is easier to wean off of the plain xanax 1mg or the xanax xr?

Questions. Do you take them both? If so, what's the strength of the xr? How long have you been taken one or each of them?

I have been taking Xanax xr 1mg for about 1 year now daily. I have the xanax .5mg to take when needed for anxiety or panic attacks. So I dont take it on a regular basis just when needed

Probably the XR would be best to ween off of, start slowly, maybe take it every other day for a week or two, then take it every 3rd day for a week, and so on, until you think you don't need it anymore. There are other products that you take daily to prevent anxiety that are not habit forming. One very good product is Buspar.
