Well, I'm glad xanax did well because it is a good med. Especially when used responsibly.
The others on the list? Well. I gotta say, just because something was widely prescribed in no way means it is somehow better than other choices. There are fads, trends, conferences, pharmaceutical rep campaigns, all kinds of stuff that influence the prescription decision.
Widely prescribed does not equal widely effective. Except maybe in the case of xanax. Glad it took first place. I don't use it, but I am a fan of it in emergencies.
