I have not touched Xanax since and I have never been the same since.
I'll bet Xanax can be very helpful in lower doses and in the "right" situation.
I'm glad you benefit from the use of Xanax.

14mgs? That's insane and he was too. (your doctor I mean)
At my worst I was up to about 8mg a day and my brain was essentially mush at that stage. I've forgotten whole sections of my life - or more accurately never remembered them to begin with. It's called anterograde amnesia - you don't lay down the memories properly.
Daily use of benzos is very risky indeed.
