And I didn't think it really helped anxiety, other than the fact that it is so numbing that you can't be anxious on it. I am currently doing wonderfully on 1.5mg Xanax tid. However, I wonder about the so called down side of BZDs, namely memory problems. I don't know how one would know if they are having memory problems, but that is another matter. So I keep seaching for new drugs and answers.

There are lots of culpits. Try adding some Buspar to your Xanax and see if that helps some-to see if you can notch down the Xanax a tad-if it is hindering your memory. Is there some links you can provide to take us to those articles online?

thanks,
Mitch
