Jay,
That makes me nervous ("not a long term drug") as I have been on xanax for many years. So I should ask for another benzo when xanax is working and I have reduced the amount from 3mg to 1.75mg. ? This is scaring me. But, I found that valium made me more sedated and I actually had a car accident during the short time I was taking valium in place of xanax. Never had an accident before and am convinced it was the valium (11mg.) (low dose compared to the xanax!)
Val> Yes -- try Dalmane... well not without your doctor. If you've never used it for sleep, it sucks you in. I'd rank that with pretty powerful, but again the half life is only intended for sleep.
