Actually I use it in the method now thought of as best by Dr Stuart Shipko, the "inflammatory method"
Basically I have used it for only 3-5 days then given it a rest for 3-5 days.
I have done this for 3 years but over time my usage has declined massively.
I now only use it for "outbreaks", last time was 6 weeks ago and for 3 days only.
Even in the beginning I often left it for long periods between usage.
I now have to make myself take it on days 2 and 3.
Shipko likens it to an antibiotic, you have to take the full course, which in my case seems relatively short.
If you have never tried it have a look at his book "Surviving Panic Disorder"
Sounds like you and I do not have the classic version of this, so I was suprised when Xanax actually worked! But his book is full of good information.
Hope this helps, interesting that after 7 years of posting here you are the only person who has closely mirrored my symptoms.Glenn
