I have. Xanax actually precipitated my first ever panic attack when I was prescribed some to take the edge off my GAD (pre-diagnosis).

Since then I've tried Ativan, Klonopin and Valium. They all do the same in that they make me sleepy for the and will calm me down in a pinch, but prn use will give me wicked anxiety as it wears off. I get the same effect if I have a beer or two, the next morning my anxiety will go sky high. If I do take a benzo it's because it's an emergency situation and fully knowing what the next day is going to feel like.

I have taken klonopin on a scheduled basis (1mg bid) during an acute stage of my GAD while I was temporarily hospitalized and during my partial hospitalization program, but after 3 weeks the taper was horrid. This was actually when they ramped me up on the paroxetine. Not gonna lie, it probably disguised a lot of the start up anxiety and withdrawal consisted of 2 days of horridness between drops.
