This one always kind of makes me giggle. Xanax is *very* popular with most doctors I've seen and a lot of people swear by it. It doesn't help my anxiety very much and makes me very, very drowsy, which is a show-stopper. Diazepam on the other hand doesn't make me drowsy at all and not only relieves the anxiety, but also provides a little mood-boost. I've been taking it daily for a little over a year and whats even funnier is that it also seems to help me concentrate much longer (I've built a fairly popular arts site and managed the community around it, gone back to school and started work in a new, (technology) field).

I'm off Valium now and have found myself back to my old lethargic ways. My site languishes and my interviews go unfinished. :)

Of course as with everything, mileage varies. I'm sure the relief from the anxiety was the cause for my increased motivation.

My wife used very small doses of Klonopin sucessfully (for years before we met).

Unfortunately now I measure success in terms of (reasonable) productivity and I'm having a tough time finding a medication that agrees with me in the same way. Currently trying Stablon (Tianeptine), which of course isn't a benzo at all.

Best of luck!
