I think that's a good post. Some benzos
are addicting but do not have the same
tolerance problems as others. As horrible
as the withdrawal effects can be with some
benzos, from what i am reading they just
don't compare to SSRI withdrawal. Also,
benzos offer some peace of mind, and the
agitation that results from SSRIs would not
be worth it i think.I was offered SSRIs when I complained about
Xanax addiction, but i declined. It turns
out I did not need the extra benzo anyway
as the cause of my anxiety was thyroxine-induced anxiety. That was all fixed a long time ago, thank God. But you can see that benzo/SSRI choices seem to be a clinical-guide-algorithm type option.Squiggles
