> At age 24 had my first panic attack and way back then 1972? valium was the drug of choice so given 5mg three times a day and also miltown no longer used and still drank beer nightly. Now I've never increased my doesage but still take valium and some xanax no longer drink and gave up miltown when about a year had gone by and felt well. Well long story short got about 30 years out of benzos working well and at you age you would be biding time as I'm sure something will come out in the future so you can go off them. Mine don't really work but I'm tolerant to them so basically deal as best I can with the anxiety on the same dose of valium. So I'd say to you stay on them and soon something better will be out. Me I don't think I'll see the day but I bet you do. Good luck in what you and your doc choose to do. I do know anxiety. Phillipa

I definately think that your advice would be the way to go, stay on the xanax until i find something else. But my doctor has taken me off of them. Even though I am telling her that they for sure work and although she obviously knows that I am struggling pretty hard with my anxiety, she thinks that a dependency on the drug would be even worse. I think it is pretty rediculous and I feel as though she is depriving me of something that helps, but benzos are out of the question.
