I agree, anything that alters brain chemistry in a significant way is going to cause dependency when used on a regular basis. I truly hope that this medication is not another buspar and actually does provide relief for the majority of patients, but I think I will stick to benzos regardless. The mechanisms of action are really just causing the same overall effect thru different means, benzo's act selectively (although indirectly) on GABA and it's truely astounding they have been around for as long as they have. I think it's likely benzo's may never be replaced although I'm sure the pharmaceutical companies will be successful in curbing their use though the marketing of their inferior, patented, product. There's a reason benzo's have been around for thirty years, and I think some people need a reality check when it comes to this utopian vision of future medications; where you will be able to treat any psychiatric disorder, without any side effects or dependency.. I wouldn't count on it.
