[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 751043, member: 1963"] So, sticking to my guns. Not in my house. I did some research today and it's basically all class 2 controlled substances that I will disallow . Makes it easy to remember. Ritalin and Adderal are on that list along with the benzos, and the opiates.[/QUOTE] Ritalin, Adderal, and Opiates, with the exception of Tyelenol 3 and Tramadol, are NOT in the same class as the two latter and benzodiazapines. They are actually much more tightly controlled. Benzos are fine for short term anxiety while while waiting for a SSRI to kick in, but should not be given for more than two weeks, with the exception of Xanax, which should not be given at all. Perhaps, if benzos are prescribed for that purpose, you could dole out the pills during the interim? There are also old fashioned blood pressure medications (clonidine and beta blockers) that help with anxiety, and hydroxazine, (Vistaril/Atarax), which is an old fashioned antihistamine--great for itchiness, but also sedating and an anxiolytic as well.
