I am a recovering alcoholic, sober 15 years . I suffer from panic for years and some depression. I have tried celexa, prozac, effexor and serzone all with bad side effects. I have tried desyrel, pamelor, and remeron and wellbutrinsr all with some cardiac side effects ...racing heart etc. I have tried klonopin at 5mg 3 times per day.....made me inpotent what a surprise. The only effective medicine for me has been xanax at 1 mg to 1.5 mg per day. I have never had to increase this dose and have tried all these other drugs over a 2 year period in order to get off the xanax which seems to help. Am I just a benzo phobe. I also have no problems coming on or off the xanax seems like I have zero withdraw. Is their any other drugs out there I should try that would be without side effects or with less social stigma than the xanax. P.S. I never feel high from the xanax, never abuse the script, always have left over pills and would probably have gotten drunk if I had not had this med the past 2 years
