Is an anxiety medication addiction bad if it helps keep you sane?

Question by Tasia: Is an anxiety medication addiction bad if it helps keep you sane?
I have been taking Xanax for about 2 years for generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks. I’ve read a lot on the internet that being addicted is a “bad” thing, but is it bad if it keeps me from going postal or being lousy company to my partner or getting no sleep? My psychiatrist thinks long-term use is ok, but most family doctors warn against long-term Xanax use. Do any of you have any experience with this drug?
