My advise would be to switch to longer acting benzo. Xanax and Ativan great for panic atacks and short term. For chronic Gad or supplement Clonzapam or valium ar much better. I take 2MG every night and half life is over 20 hrs so nee need to worry about when I need more. It does not provide the boost Xanax does and may cause depression. I take Lexapro in the AM. I have not been depressed or anxious while on this combo. Each person is differet. It is well documented that Xanax for long term use is much more problomatic. As one who has experienced it I would get off ASAP. I still might take 1 or 2 1/mg month as needed for extreme stress. Barely feel it.
