The reasoning isn't tardive D. It's the weigh gain, leading to possible diabetes, and other metabolic illnesses and falls in the elderly. It's just the way it is now for depression/anxiety. I've also turned them down. But today the docs I've seen wouldn't even consider them for me. Reserved for the old term Manic depression & Schizophenia which they were originally developed for. It was off label useage And fear of benzo addiction which caused the useage. Phillipa
