I'm allergic to all Benzo's except Xanax. The problem with Xanax is that it has a short life span and is really only good for panic. My pdoc would really like something that has a long life span but I've ended up allergic to them. Valium gives me a rash, Klonopin bruises my whole body. Temazepam wires me! I have such atypical responses to meds and that is not helping me find the right cocktail.
