I wouldn't demonize anything. They are all potentially great and potentially troubling. If Narcotics really help a person to be more functional they should not be withheld. Some times things get tricky though. With all of the meds.
When are Paxil and Effexor going to be demonized. I've never experienced benzo withdrawal, but I know that getting off Paxil was a nightmare. Benzo deprivation couldn't be "too" much worse than Paxil. Although I'm pretty sure it's a lot harder to kick Diazepam than Paroxetine.

I think he just prescribeds SSRI's and the occasional anti-psychotic. Maybe a little Wellbutrin. Stick with the standard I suppose. That way you get sent a free Prozac clock.
