absolutely, benzos are the gold standard treatment for anxiety disorders. I agree with you that APs (no matter what the dose) are not appropriate in situations where psychosis is not present, the side effect profile is too great. Nobody abuses klonopin, and very few anxiety patients abuse xanax. There is a long acting form of xanax coming out that you may want to try- in the meantime if you don't have a history of drug abuse then you shouldn't be worried about developing one. best of luck- judy
