> dementia in old age.

Spoke to a psychiatrist on this one. He was saying The Lancet longitudinal study was bunk and that Xanax use was not one of concern.

I'm not saying he's correct, but he literally laughed at my objection to Xanax, including it's now very long history of use with an average dose of 6mg/day.

Xanax use is cause for concern in general. Acutely it is safe, but chronic administration is definitively not, and not something to laugh about or take lightly.
this man laughed at you for suggesting this? Xanax is a "benzo" wikipedia tells me.. Consider the source
doctors often laugh at their own ignorance and pride
