> Vince, to my knowledge, only Paxil and Buspar are alternatives to the benzos for anxiety. I am personally a fan of benzos, if used responsibly. Unfortunately, there is so much abuse of them that you can understand the doc's caution. Even my Pdoc has tried from time to time to to get me off the benzos to a "mood stabilizer" like Depakote, Topamax or Neurontin. I did not like any of them, however, some people out there have had good results. It's a very individual thing. if you want benzos, ask your doc, if he won't come across, find one that will. just be careful of showing the infamous "drug seeking behaviour". Knowing full well it is 10 times easier to walk down to the corner and buy some crack than to get legitimate scripts. Gonna take time and patience. However, if you have been "hooked" before or self medicate in other ways, good luck.
