I wonder if the use of atypical antipsychotics for managing anxiety carries far more risk than long term bzd? I intend to approach my pdoc tonight on this subject, as I'd like to get off Seroquel having gained 15lbs. I did well on bzd but got so afraid of them I wouldn't take them when needed -- and now I know to be worried more about Seroquel than bzd. This thread has been very meaningful to me, BTW, thank you all for your contributions.
> Medical dependency is a small price to pay for peace of mind and the ability to think and function normally. For some, like me, benzos provide this option, without side effects or substantial medical risks. Arguments over benzo dependency, "addiction", etc. are just plain silly. This class of meds may not be appropriate for everyone, but they're a great deal safer and more tolerable than much of what's out there.
