In reply to Benzo treatment for anxiety=drug problem?, posted by torachan on October 28, 2007, at 19:31:51
It's not the prescription part of it. It's the fact that SSRI's haven't been shown to have quite the addictive qualities that benzos have. Benzos are basically legal narcotics as I understand it, and so are highly addictive, although only if taken regularly - I wouldn't think taking them intermittently would cause addiction. The question becomes what happens if you stop using the benzos? And would you be willing to try other anxiety treatments?
