@phxlife I totally agree and can understand as I posted that I have been on Alprazolam for thirty-two years for severe panic attacks. I am not ashamed that I have to take it, but I do notice that people are nervous when they find out I do. They think I am an addict; I'm sure. To have to say, "I can drive, but I do not drive" sounds ridiculous and they look at me as if I have two heads! But, it is what it is, and it could be much worse than not driving. Like you, I know what I need, and fortunately, I have never had a doctor question me about it and say I need to stop it. All of my doctors always have been supportive; they have seen me in the ER having an attack; that's about all it takes to make people know how important this med is.
