> I've found Xanax useful for occasional help with obsessive worry (0.5 - 1.0 mg) but I develop tolerance to it quickly. It's great as an "emergency" med. Klonopin is much better for me (for regular use), and I also do well with Lamictal for its general calming effects (although I find it very subtle).
