The salesman from the pharma company sells them on SSRI's and now we have a whole generation on them, even kids. Still everyone I know in the states are getting there anxiety meds cut in half, then in half again, then replaced. I have had doctors try to give me antipsychotics for anxiety because they get harassed less for prescribing respiridol than they do for prescribing traditional anxiety meds for anxiety. Who cares what happens to the patient. If you have anxiety, and want anxiety medicine you are a drug seeker and get red flagged. Its sad. It turns a lot of people into criminals against their will. Scofflaws they would have called us a century or two ago. Now we are just more fodder for the drug war that helps keep our gov't afloat. Hope you all find some relief out there somewhere. I thank god for places like this.
I had a candid conversation with a doctor recently and was told they get audited periodically to check if they are prescribing an abnormal number of benzos. The situation varies a bit country to country, state to state, but I think that is part of the issue.
