Valium did not control my panic symptoms the way Xanax does. I agree with everyone about it being h*ll going off them, but it is important to have your doctor gradually taper you off. When I tapered off slowly enough, it was okay.
I also have a question regarding Xanax. My cousin's doctor just prescribed it for her. She called three different pharmacies and they all use different generics: one uses PurePac, one uses Geneva, and the other Mylan. I take the name brand so am unfamiliar with which generic is better. Does anyone know out of those three which is better? They are all about the same price with her insurance.
