Hi Fred,

I think that people favouring the brandname above generic is testament to the brandname's aditional placebo power. I myself struggle to accept substitues even though I know they are equipotent. :)

Alot of people prefer Xanax above all others, but it is harder than all other Benzos to withdrawl from & I would therfore consider it a permanent solution. You should try out other Benzos first to see if your anxiety is kept in check with a continuos dose, or you have a continuos need to escalate the dosage. If you are dose stable on something else like Ativan, Klonopin or Valium, then permanent Xanax might be the best option. If you have a need to escalate the doseage, then you should look at alternatives to Benzos. Do you have an other symptoms besides anxiety?

Cheers,
Panda.
