crap. I just happened to see this thread from the main menu. I've never had addiction issues, so I don't really come into this section. I've been on xanax for 5 yrs...1mg every night to fall asleep. I also have rx for klonipin, .5mg as needed for panic attacks for 5 yrs. I don't take the klonipin every day, sometimes I go a whole week without it, but I do have major panic attacks and when that happens I take one. So now I read this, and I think my pdoc who I loved for the past 5 yrs is a quack. I don't know what to do now.
