You might want to read:http://bearpaw8.tripod.com/pd.html
Scroll down to BZD's if you want (although the rest is extremely well written and researched). You may want to have a copy in hand about long term benzo therapy when you speak to your doc.
Mine and Rick's experience have been very similar.
Anti depressants especially SSRI's usually need a benzo augmentation in the end anyway so why combine all of the side effects of both? Research and Development reimbursement, that's why. SSRI's are brand - BZD's off-brand. Most all of the time docs get the company line from the newest drug reps.Best,
