The Big D-Cit is fascinating as a potential challenge to Big Pharma's Xanax, Valium and other synthetics prescribed for anxiety, depression, and/or panic disorder -- 295 million prescriptions were written in 2011 for the top 12. Physicians write nearly 50 million prescriptions for Xanax or alprazolam (the generic equivalent) every year – more than one Xanax prescription per second. These drugs are habit forming and very much abused . The abuse of prescription drugs causes more deaths than all the most dangerous and most addictive illegal drugs combined.

"... Dharmanol Citrolene ™ and T-Hydrocan Citrolene ™. Both of these products contain a substantial dose of the terpenes and terpenoids found in cannabis and hemp which bind to the same receptors as Xanax and Valium.
It is anticipated that treating these receptors with a non-toxic organic terpene will produce similar relaxing and anti-spasmodic effects, without the dangerous habit-forming properties of the pharmaceuticals which bind to the same receptors ." -D. Gold BB update 01/07
Top 25 Psychiatric Medication Prescriptions for 2011
By John M. Grohol, Psy.D.
These are the top 25 psychiatric medications by number of U.S. prescriptions dispensed in 2011, according to IMS Health.
To put the percent changes below into perspective, the U.S. total population rose approximately 1.6 percent from 2009 to 2011. That suggests that anything above 1.6 percent change was driven by other factors — more people seeking treatment, more pharmaceutical advertising and marketing, or some other factor.
The biggest movers and shakers on the list were Celexa — moving up 15 spots to grab the second most-prescribed psychiatric drug in 2011 — and Wellbutrin XL, moving from 22 to 13.
Drugs used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) — generic amphetamine salts and methylphenidate — enjoyed big gains as well.
