> Hey Chad, I kinda don't like the fact that even MAOIs require an additional med (benzo). Are benzos the only drugs that can be used as primary treatment for SP?MAOIs do not require a benzo. Some people may find the combination more effective than either medication alone, but there is certainly no requirement.
In answer to your second question: no. ;-) My general interpretation as well as personal experience with benzos suggests that they do not usually tend to be very effective for generalized SP. Stimulants benefit me more than benzos for SP, but of course, people respond differently, and YMMV; you just have to see what works best for you.
Best of luck,
Dave
