> tinaTina: Xanax has taken away 95% of my anxiety, but..the addiction potential is extremely high. I would try something else other than benzodiazepines. I have been on Xanax for 14 years. When I can no longer find a doctor to prescribe it for me, or worse, my liver gets damaged beyond repair, I will probably have to enter drug rehab. I have never tried anything else for anxiety that worked.
