I guess maybe it's according to the type of medication that it is. I've been taking Xanax for over a year, and now I'm to the point where it's "as needed" rather than twice daily. If it's an "as needed" dose to help you through extreme stress, then I'd say maybe it's worth it. I don't know that I'd start a slow release or once daily med again UNLESS I needed it really badly.

The rate and frequency of addiction is enough to scare me. That's the last thing I need. =) Maybe you just really need to do some research and then you can always decide later whether or not it's worthwhile for you to use. Talk to your doc about your concern. Good luck!!!

Take care,
