> I think this will be redirected to meds but for what it's worth if the antidepressants are laden with withdrawal symptoms why the big fusss over benzos? Love Phillipa
Benzos are horrible to withdraw from -- you
can search my stories here. I never knew
that antiderpessants were also bad (lithium
which i take is atypical, but does allow the
manic-depression to return).I think we need more psychopharmacologists.
Doctors are just beginning to realize that
certain ADs and benzos are very problematic
this way. And drug companies are just starting
to put discontinuation alerts on the monographs.I don't know which w/d is worse -- Effexor sounds terrible from what i have read along with other SSRIs, but i can assure you that in my case, clonazepam has been impossible. I mean death is a likely possibility from seizures -- *that* warning actually appears on an old MERCK manual for doctors.
