> Do you really think that there is no need for an AP if one is on a benzo? please advise me?
> Thank you so much!-look forward to hearing your view on this.Kristen, as much as I would like to, I can't give you an informed answer. My advice to Utopizen not to take an AP and only to take a benzo was based on the fact that he is not responding well at all to an AP and he has responded to a benzo yet his quack of a doctor somehow thinks an antipsychotic is better for a person with anxiety than is a benzodiazepine which are specifically formulated for anxiety.
In your case, I simply do not know. There are some who have anxiety who need to take AP's along with benzo's and some who only respond to AP's. Sorry I couldn't be of help but I don't purport to be an expert. If you have any other questions, I would be happy to give you my opinion.
