Anxiety disorders for some people are a long term issue requiring long term treatment.
Of course discontinuing benzo's can be difficult, but the same thing goes for SSRI's. Non drug alternatives may work for some people, but if somebody needs a med for anxiety, I don't see that an SSRI is any better than a benzo.
I would tend to think that doctors have been irresponsable with SSRI's. I am not the only person who has had more problems with SSRI's then benzo's, so I don't know.
