I wanted to thank you all for your posts and want to bring them to my new doctor. Went to see two nurse practitioners, both against benzos. Feeling so down about it, because one thing that really seemed to work for social anxiety was taking one half of my xanax. I even went for coffee with a man, that was amazingly courageous for me, since at one time, I barely left home! but they're covinced that benzos lead to addiction for everyone, and not the way to go! they are sending me to the new doctor, but they all work together, so i don't feel too excited to see him. I wanted to print out some of your posts about how well you all did on benzos, so far the only thing that made a difference for me (even all the things i tried, celexa, luvox, did nothing anxiety wise, just gained a lot of weight, terrific for a single woman! or anyone, i should really say). Anyway, if anyone has seen any scientific articles on the BENEfits of benzos, i would love to see them, because i wonder if this guy won't take them seriously unless their "scientific." Anyway, if not, thanks again, and good luck to you all!
