dloos, YES!! That is the goal!! To take the medication that works best for you! Doctors I believe, are told not to prescribe benzos because so many people abused them! But gosh darn it....Don't punish the responsible people who will take them as prescribed! SSRI and SNRI's definitely are addictive and have ALOT more SIDE EFFECTS!! Doctors NEED TO start prescribing benzos to people who need a anxiety med that works for them, who have tried the SSRI's or SNRI's....
