> One thing that did get me a little concerned, though, is that after using Xanax sporadically (usually not more than once a week, sometimes not for two weeks or more), I became tolerant to the very low dose I was using. I still take it, but have to use quite a bit more to achieve the same effect.....
> Anyway, this is just me, but my pdoc has told me that this sort of thing happens more often with Xanax than other benzos, in his experience.Hmm...thanks for sharing your experience. I'll feel my way carefully with this drug.
> Xanax is a great med and does seem to have antidepressant properties for some people.
That wouldn't hurt! :)
> One other suggestion: some people here seem to do very well with Neurontin for anxiety. It's a very safe drug and might be worth a try.I was on Neurontin for a while. I liked it. Unfortunately, my white blood cell count dropped a bit. Nothing serious, but it persisted and my internist sent me to a hematologist and she said that neurontin can do that. She recommended that I stop the neurontin lest it turn into a larger problem. I was sorry to see it go. Oh well.
