Sorry to interrupt but,I agree with you on the "addiction" part because all it is is "medical dependency" just like with any other drug.
What I don't understand is why you state that xanax is more likely to build tolerance than other BZD's. What are the scientific studies, sources to back this obsevation up other than anecdotal or opinion?
Just curious.
