This is interesting, Jack. Xanax had an antidepressant effect on me (and is used by some docs as an AD.) What dose were you on?

I second the motion: Benzos are the most effective treatment for anxiety. Maybe if the pharmaceutical companies cut down some of the SSRI hype, we'd have less benzophobia around.
