As long as you follow directions and don't use benzo for sleep only for a LONG time (for me almost 7 years now)...I personally alternate. When I am haveing a lot of anxiety/panic I take xanax 6-8mg daily (10) doc said is ok on a rare basis or if REALLY needed.
When I am a bit better...I go back to valium 60 mg daily (20 x 3) and can take 10-20 for crisis.
I also am always on a ssri/ssnri too.
Yes, you can't go off cold turkey, but when it's time doc will ween you off gradually...
Hope this helps a bit
