[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 558195, member: 1550"] SSRIs are habit forming and very hard to get off of. It is the dirty little secret that none of us are ever told. Frankly, I would have taken them anyway and plan to stay on my medications until I die. I can't function without them so there is no option...it is insulin to a diabetic for me. However, don't think any drug is innocuous. Paroxatene, which I have taken for over twenty years, is EXTREMELY hard to wean off of. Every SSRI is difficult to wean off of just like benzos (I'm not planning on every quitting Clonazapan either though so for me it doesn't matter). Anxiety, of all disorders, in my opinion is the easiest to control with just good therapy. If there had been DBT when I was younger, I may not be on clonazapan...but DBT wasn't around and I am and that's ok. I wouldn't want a young person of mine on either an SSRI or a benzo unless there was absolutely no option...it was life or death, like with me. I believe that Tenex (don't know generic name) can help with anxiety and it is pretty harmless. There are natural herbs you can try as well. They never worked for me, but your son is not me. Keep us updated! We do care :) [/QUOTE]
