Oh, yeah, I know, I know. I hear this from time to time, and many years ago I had a Doc who felt the same. HOWEVER, more recently they have found that Xanax isn't as addicting as they once thought. But, there are still pdocs from the "old school" who insist you'll become a raving street addict in no time. I believe if pills are taken responsibly, docs should give the benefit of the doubt, at least for the first RX. I was put on Ativan which is taken daily, and, I'm guessing, doesn't have the same potential for addiction. If your anxiety continues, mention this one to your doc, or Klonopin, as no one should have to suffer. This is what they're made for! Good luck!'
