all of these drugs lead you on a merry go round - look up the term 'rebound anxiety' - after you're off anti-anxiety drugs many people get whammed with 'rebound anxiety' out of the blue.

Actually Xanax is not the most addictive drug, not even close. Any drug that you take for an extended period of time is going to get addictive. Your body gets used to it and wants it when it is gone. The most dangerous and addictive drugs are the SSRI drugs which are Paxil, Zoloft, Lexapro, etc. They are much harder to come off of then Xanax which is a Benzodiazepine. I have had panic attacks for three years now and I have been on many different kinds of medications. I am speaking from personal experience from coming off many drugs. Paxil is to be the worst of all the SSRI drugs to withdrawl from. If your doctor suggests any of these medications to you, please read up on them. I wish I had done that in the very beginning.
