Danny, I'm not the doc, but what your ex-pdoc said is complete b.s. I've been taking Xanax (approximately 2 mg. per day these days ... just got a scrip today) -- another benzo -- for 4 years with no problems. And, for your information, you're not addicted unless you're continually increasing your dose to get a "fix". If taken on a regular basis for the proper reason and in the proper dose, you are dependent on Ativan, but as humans we're all dependent on many things, such as food and air. If it helps you have a functional life, don't sweat it.
