> Patiently waiting for a referral someone is working on. And the pdocs here are all benzophobic and after over 30years why an antipsychotic especially since they are coming out with so many horrible longterm side effects? Love Phillipa
_______________________________________________Perhaps they think you have been on the benzo's too long and that they are no longer effective with out raising them to higher and higher doses??? The antipsychotics are not like the ones from days of old - the Thorazine and Mellaril and Haldol. For anxiety at low dosages they tend to be very safe. The lowest doses of some of them knocked my socks off at night, but perhaps if I were also on benzo's that would not have been the case. Maybe the antipsychotics would not work as easily.
