> For some people, drugs that have potential for addiction simply work better. I don't think it matters, anyway, if you're going to take the drug for years and years. Why pick Paxil over Xanax for anxiety if you're going to take these pills for the rest of your life? Why is addiction even an issue? Some would say you would have to increase your dose of Xanax indefinitely while you could stick with 20mg die of Paxil forever. This is not true. Benzos looze their effectiveness as hypnotics, anticonvulsants, antispasmodics and sedatives rather quickly, but they maintain their effectiveness as tranquilizers over extended periods. Conversely, SSRIs can and do "poop-out". Anyway, I am sort of rambling now so don't mind this part if you are already bored to death but anyway.
You ramble well. You are right. Your confidence in your intellect is well founded. I think the consensus on this board is in agreement with everything you have said. I'll definitely be calling on you from time to time for help.
Have a nice day.
