Sqiggles what counry are you in. In the US if you use a mail order pharmacy I believe three months is what you get. I don't have one so each 30days my pdoc sees me and gives me another prescription based on my stress level. Funny if you go to the withdrawal board is it benzos or Antidepressants that people seem to have problems withdrawing off of? I prefer a med that has been around for years and there are no known side effects. I think klonopin is depressing at least for me, xanax quick acting for panic attacks, valium long acting not depressing for me. I finally just stopped xanax as it was making me tired and I like to be on the go. Funny last time I saw my pdoc she said you should either take xanax during the day with valium at night or small bits of valium during the day. Oh her specialty is addictions. She writes for Jama and other medical journals. Love Phillipa she's seen it all she's in her 70's. Now I not being argumentive here. This is just my experience and that of other members of my family. See somehow we inheritated a panic gene.
