I've been taking Xanax since 1999. Back then I took 2 mg prn three or four times a day. Now I generally only take it to sleep.

My pdoc added Temazepam 60 mg for sleep in 2007 but after three years cut it back to 30 mg and now 15 mg and only take it on occasion.

I know they are addictive but since I now take less my pdoc and I are pretty comfortable with it. Though that could change at any time as I get older.

Which particular benzo works best I think depends on the individual. Valium and Ativan tablets do nothing at all for me.
