> Effexor+Remeron is giving me relief from some of my mild anxieties. A lot of docs seem to be steering towards AD's & going away from Benzos (probably drug company steered) & I really doubt that AD's are actually any safer than Benzos, but they may be for some.

I'd guess that you are correct, Panda. Using AD's for anxiety is driven by drug company greed. ADs sure don't work as well for anxiety.We really don't know much about the long term effects of the newer ADs, but the benzos have been used and studied for years. I think the benzos are safer unless you are prone to drug abuse.
