Hello!
I also live in the uk so I just thought i'd make a few comments....Clonazepam(klonopin/called rivotril in england)... Hardly ever prescribed for anxiety in uk because it's only licensed for use as an anticonvulsant.
Alprazolam(Xanax)... Not available on the national health service. You can get it if you pay to see a private pdoc though.
Diazepam(Valium).... By far the most widely prescribed benzo in the uk. Most doctors will only give you a few weeks treatment with it though.
Phenelzine(Nardil)... Hardly ever used. My psychiatrist has never even prescribed it in his entire career!!!
SSRIs.... all pdocs are obsessed with SSRIs. I took four SSRIs before I was ever even given a drug from a different class.
