My pdoc told me last year that many countries were going to tighten regulations on Xanax prescriptions. He mentioned parts of Europe, I think Canada, and he wondered if and how US would follow.
He said it is the only benzo that is believed to be stored in the brain, unlike other benzos stored in fat tissue. Thus, perhaps, the higher rates of dementia seen in long-term Xanax users. (I have no idea what those rates are.)
I switched to clonazepam, but it does not work as well for me. I supplement with Xanax occasionally when the going gets too tough.
