AL=lso on the xanax/benzo subject, I joined a mailing list for anxiety/panic sufferes for a while, and there were several people on it who'd been taking high doses (5-10mg daily) of Xanax for 5-15 years to control debilitating panic attacks.

They are dependent on it in the sense that if you took them off suddenly there would be xanax withdrawal syndrome, but other than that they live normal lives, have families, hold down jobs etc. The only effect they reported is a short term memory deficit not unlike the one you get when you smoke weed regularly.

I wouldn't presume to advise people on what drugs they should be taking, but I do know that alot of the bad stuff about xanax is media created nonsense that started when 60 minutes did a "special" on it.
