A member asked:
Can i cut 2mg xanax (alprazolam) xr in half and it still be a controlled release?

No: It is important to take medications as directed. Xanax XR would no longer work as controlled release if you cut it.

Agree with others: The XR is designed to work as a unit, and cutting it will dramatically change the pharmacodynamics, so it will act as an immediate release item. This creates a risk of flooding with a large amount of medicine released instantaneously, which could result in severe adverse effects, especially drowsiness, dizziness, and imbalance. Not safe at all. Discuss with your doctor.
