Benzos w/d??

by broknbck, Jul 06, 2007 12:00AM
Are antidepressants benzos? I've just started taking Cymbalta (Duloxetine). Concerned about when I stop taking it. It's an anti-depressant. Don't want to get in another w/d nightmare.Can someone list some common Benzos please??

anti-depressants are not benzo's..Benzo's are like xanax,klonopin,valuim,adivan....Although anti-depressents are SSRI's they are still hard to get off of..I take lexapro, and plan on staying on it..But i have heard of some that got off of their's and had some w/d's..mild but some..
hope this helps you
have a good day
