> Matt I disagree as valium is more depressing than xanax and xanax is somewhat nondepressing. Love Phillipa

True Phillipa, xanax does indeed have antidepressant properties. I find especially at the lower doses, I have been on 1.5mg. for some time now and it really does help my mood. As far as long term benefits, you'll get differing opinions from many pdocs; however the one I saw was a world renowned psychopharmacologist and he endorses the use of benzodiazpines highly for people like me who have chronic GAD, social anxiety, and no drug seeking behavior, not escalating dosage for over 20 years. Oh and hardly any alcohol intake.
