> Benzodiazepines are newer than barbituates and amphetamines, but they've been around since at least the 1960s and are far from experimental -- they're been among the most-prescribed drugs in the world for decades and have an excellent track record for safety and effectiveness in anxiety disorders. Benzos almost completely replaced barbituates for this purpose; they include Valium, Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, etc.

Phenobarbital came out in 1912.... that's quite a longer, more extended record. I'm still not convinced benzos are better for anxiety, given the data that compares the two.
