Jack,
I've got a quack of a doc too, because I am on Seroquel, a med used for psychotic and schizo tendencies, which I do NOT have. I'm tellin ya, my doc now is telling me to lower the benzo AND the Seroquel-I don't get it Grrrrrrr
I'll try to figure it out.
Thanks so much for your reply. I understand, I'm not a doc either, but I'm thinking I should be with all this stuff.
Thanks JACK:-)
Kristen-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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.
JACK
