Hi alan
I read your recent posts on anxiety and depression. I suffer from anxiety only and have been taking xanax for about 6 years. my doctor has beeen pushing me to get off the xanax because she says I've been on it too long (guess shes never had a panic attack!) when i first started taking xanax I took 3 mg a day. Because of everything i heard and read about the "evils" of xanax, I tapered back to 1.5 mg per day (which was not nearly enough)anyway, the doc gave me Lexapro a week ago and my anxiety is still as strong as ever. My question to you is, is there doctors out there that believe(like I do) that xanax is o.k. to take if you need it? I am dependent on it but not like a drug addict, I just need it to feel "normal". thanks for listening
