How should I take Xanax XR?
Take Xanax XR precisely as it was prescribed for you. Please do not take the medication in more significant amounts or take it longer than your doctor recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to ensure you get the best results from this medication.
Xanax XR may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Xanax XR should never be shared with another person, especially someone who has a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it. Do not crush, chew, or break a Xanax extended-release tablet. Swallow the tablet whole. It is specially made to release alprazolam slowly in the body. Breaking the tablet would cause too much alprazolam to be released at one time.
Contact your doctor if this medicine seems to stop working and treat your panic or anxiety symptoms. Your symptoms may return when you stop using Xanax XR after using it over a long period. You may also have seizures or withdrawal symptoms when you stop using Xanax XR.
Withdrawal symptoms may include blurred vision, trouble concentrating, loss of appetite, diarrhea, muscle twitching, numbness or tingling, or increased sensations.
Do not stop using Xanax XR suddenly without first talking to your doctor. You may need to use less and less before stopping the medication completely.
To be sure this medication is helping your condition, your doctor will need to check your progress regularly. Do not miss any scheduled visits to your doctor.
Store Xanax XR at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light. Remove any cotton from the bottle of disintegrating tablets, and keep the bottle tightly closed.
Keep track of how many pills have been used from each new bottle of this medicine. Benzodiazepines are drugs of abuse, and you should be aware that any person in the household is misusing this medicine or without a prescription.
