> Jelly maybe cause I'm old compared to you no pdoc has ever hesitated to prescribe me benzos. And no pharmacist has ever looked at me strangely. All my neighbors are on xanax or klonopin too. Love Phillipa

Age may have something to do with it actually. I never thought about it. I know a lot of elderly people take low doses of benzos (not implying you're elderly!). Middle aged adults are probably looked at by docs as having a hard, stressful life, and have the right and responsibility to take the medication.

With my age group, people are more skeptical. It is an age where a lot of drug experimentation can go on. Nobody wants to hand over Xanax to a teen/20-something, without a lot of hesitance. A lot of docs/psychologists try to blame depression or anxiety on being young and confused and inexperienced, which I think is a poor answer to a patient. Anxiety is anxiety, no matter your age.
