Besides the possible antidepressant effect, Xanax has an immediacy effect (the time between ingestion and anxiolytic relief) similar to Ativan that other benzodiazepines do not possess as much.
That's why Xanax is a good medication more for PRN usage than for continuous round the clock dosing because of interdosal withdrawals.But some people respond better to Xanax regardless and for that small population I would suggest Xanax XR, patent renewal comments set aside, than a multi pill dosal regime of regular Xanax.
