Fine, according to that criteria they are not addictive, but neither are benzos, which of course many doctors claim are addictive. Regardless, I and scores of other people have horrible withdrawals from both classes of meds. Benzos have been demonized and SSRIs haven't. Gee, I wonder why that is. Couldn't have anything to do with money, could it? Anyways, it still doesn't take away from my original point that it really sucks to come off either, no matter what semantic game you play to tell me what I am suffering from.

> > I am so sick of this bs. I was thrust off Ativan cold turkey because it is addictive. The results were awful. They put me on all sort of "nonaddictive" meds. I stop them because I don't like going through life like a zombie. I had horrible withdrawals from zyprexa and lexapro. Discontinuation Syndrome is yet another glaring example of the greed and lack of ethics of pharmacuetical companies. They are all addictive. Bottom line. Once I figured this out I went back on the Ativan. At least it didn't give me the side effects of the "nonaddictive" meds.
