        Have seen this 1st hand w/ someone trying to stop anti-anxiety med (Ativan). After 2+ years, many hospitalizations, terrible episodes finally on right medications and off long term anti-anxiety stuff (Ativan). Docs/hospitals did not recognize this legal addiction 4 what it was.😟

        Antidepressants and benzodiazepines (Ativan, Klonopin,etc) “anti-anxiety” are a completely different class of meds and do not function the same nor bind to the same receptor sites in the brain. They are not related to this NYT article.

        The issues that people believe that doctors know "all about" the effects of the long term use of these drugs and how to recognize/treat patients are the same. U apparently can't see the forest for the trees.

        Meant in earlier reply, docs often do not really know the long term effects antidepressants and antianxiety drugs have on people. Most particularly Docs often do not know how to safely get people off of them. This is how they r alike, and the article does mention antianxiety.

        Side effects aren't the same from person to person. It's still a guessing game. What I DON'T want to do is cause anyone suffering from these issues to refrain from seeking help. Most often, they refuse to tell close friends/family what is happening. Still some stigma in my book.

        Exactly. I prescribe these medications- and the pharmacokinetic answer is far longer than a tweet. Briefly, Benzodiazepines are addicting and the tapering process is different. I don’t want people to not take necessary medications because of worries from another.

        The packaging on most antidepressants literally says “don’t stop taking abruptly,” and I’m sure you could find out a lot more if you just read up on the medication yourself, or just asked your doctor? Is that not warning enough?

        And most people in that mindframe ain't gonna read the warnings, they depend on the doctors and we know doctors don't always do their job. Pushing the pencil is essential for most doctors, equals money. The people are not at fault here.

        Happy that so many people can now cope with life but wonder how many could have been helped by talk therapy coaching. A psychiatrist friend explained off the record that insurance companies push the pharma approach to mental illness over counseling in mental health factory.

        Actually research recommends a combination of both psychotherapy and medication depending on the severity of the depressive episode.

        My personal friend, a long practicing psychiatrist, claims insurance cos.pressure his prescribing of meds 2 demonstrate he's "effectively" treating his patients. Long term meds r probably cheaper for ins cos. vs long term psychotherapy, regardless of research recommendations.

        You know, all of this government chaperoning to the doctor's offices drives both patients & physicians to dread. One of my docs. truly hates all the damn paperwork that limits his time with patients. He sees my frustration and I see his disdain. 🚑 What a Mess 🤒
