To get to the point, if you think that you will be able to control the usage of Xanax, go for it, but I would suggest therapies vs. addictive chemicals...

Well I'm with you on the drugs and wanting to stay away. The only thing I'd even consider is drugs that are not for regular use. I would not be one that would recommend regular use of klonopin or xanax type meds. If I did do either of those it would be fore those times when I had to have them. But I have to consider carefully, I really wouldn't want to be dependent on anything. I have my issues but I think Therapy can help with pretty much all of it. I'm a firm believer in this.
