who knows. My guess would be that any benzo/benzo-ish compount that hits the market soon would have to do more than just treat anxiety (thats a big deal in and of itself, but still..)...I think what would be really nice is 1 pill for combined depression/anxiety; if this medication could also help with subtypes of anxiety (ex: social phobia) or maybe provide a little bit of mood stabilization, that'd be nice, too. The ideal new-age benzo could be taken as-needed, would have minimal withdrawal issues, and would play well with other drugs, since psychiatric cocktails are so popular. Hopefully, these new meds would also help with some more severe problems, like schizophrenia and bipolar (klonopin and ativan do a bit for these disorders). Perhaps most importantly, the ideal benzo would either be unscheduled--which would be **AWESOME**--or would be scheduled but not regarded as problematic (ex: Ambien is schedule IV, but no one really regards Ambien as a "drug"; the scheduling seems more like a technicality).
