i just dumped a new doctor who immediately tried to force me off xanax and onto klonopin. she told me i "had to" get off the xanax or my depression couldn't be treated. i never understood her rationale, because basically xanax works for me. it lets me relax, which in turn reduces my stress and makes pretty much *everything* better, including my depression. getting off xanax can be nasty, yes - but i bet it couldn't be worse than the month+ i spent withdrawing from effexor!
you are the best judge of what works for you! right now, i'm stuck tapering off klonopin and being very regulated about the small amount of xanax i have left. i am waiting for the county to assign me a new doctor - i hope i don't have to fight with them again!
i'm looking for a job, i can't make all the changes she was demanding of me - as long as xanax works for me, i'm going to take it, at least situationally.
