> For what it's worth I personally think benzodiazepines are a remarkable medication, useful for a multitude of disorders. I believe that they are a great drug given a bad name by people who don't even need them. I think Xanax is underused, and so much pain could be avoided by placing many patients on long term benzo therapy. Dr. Shipko, a notable neurologist and psychiatrist, has seen patients on Xanax for 30 years with no ill effects...eg, cancer, hypertrophy, etc.
