> > I've had several episodes of anxiety where I am not worried about anything at all, where nothing has happened or may happen in my life that causes distress. Just free-floating anxiety and the symptoms are mainly physical, like I'm in an unending panic attack. 0.5mg of xanax knocks it out and, once I start to feel better, it just goes away without my continuing the xanax. It's as if my body goes into overdrive and the xanax resets it.

That's exactly my experience with xanax. Sometimes I think about asking my pdoc for a script of like 5 tablets (I don't know if that few will be dispensed.) A few years ago I detoxed off benzodiazepines after about 12 years daily use. I came to hate the physical dependency, but I miss it as a tool. Today I experienced a hours long sense of doom and GAD cr*p. If I had had a xanax, my mind would have cleared and stomach stop hurting.
