I'm with Quintal on this. Benzodiazines are certainly habit forming, but if used carefully they can be very helpful. You might look at sustained release (Xanax SR). If not now certainly when you're titrating.
Addict seems like a pretty hard word. I guess I was (almost 2 years taking 30-40 mg Valium) but honestly, aside from the issues I've mentioned in other threads, I've been off benzos for almost a month now and don't remotely feel the kinds of cravings I did for either nicotine or Ritalin (2 drugs I'd definitely say I was addicted to).
Maybe other people have had a harder time? Quintal, I'm curious if it was difficult for you?
