One of my DXs is panic disorder and has been for the last 5 years. I've been admitted into the ER over 15 times and threatened with being sent to a mental ward.

My xanax taper was a 2 month ordeal which eventually ended in valium bridging. There is no other benzo that requires a massive long term withdrawal aside from xanax (belive me i've withdrawan from valium, ativan, klonopin, etc). Its not at all the same thing. If the taper you're speaking of is the Ashton method the only thing she's been correct about is the valium bridging.

Why? The triazolo-ring thats responsible for xanax's ability to quickly pass through the BBB. It probably also accounts for the minor AD effect. Think of xanax as a sort of benzo hybrid because while it shares similar qualities as the rest of the benzo family it also has methods of action that are unique.
