Dear Mr. Scott,
<<I advocate only the best way to alleviate suffering, and from my point of view if you can do it with Lexapro or Prozac thats probably (although not necessarily) going to cause less problems than Ativan or Xanax>>
Less problems than ativan or xanax ? I have experienced both type of withdrawals. Xanax withdrawal gave me some bouts of anxiety and dysphoria which I could easily manage with intensifying social activity. Things were not the same with zoloft. Obsessive rumination and consequent depression led me to the psychiatric clinic and only the answer was prozac. (which I am still on). I was a stranger to obsession prior to zoloft.
I agree with you, if a person can do with benzos alone he is the luckiest psychiatric patient. Isn't that what you meant ?
