In reply to Re: Benzo to SSRI 4 Anxiety? Was it Successful???? » jono_in_adelaide, posted by Phil on April 22, 2013, at 18:34:15
Because she asked about substituting an AD for a benzo - I didnt say that I thought she should do it, but if she was going to, I thought I'd offer some advice.
Benzos hve issues with tolorance and dependence for some users, where as SSRI's and Remeron dont, so if either of these drugs worked, they might be worth exploring as an alternative to long term benzo therapy.
What gadchick chooses to do it totaly down to her, i was just offering some tips if she did choose to go down a certain path
> jono, serious question. Why put a non-depressed person on an SSRI or similar to treat GAD when .5mg Klonopin is taking care of it? I'm sure most doctors would prefer to go that route but tolerability wise, for me, Klonopin is easy, SSRI's sucked.
