For some people they ARE just a bandaid. For me they were. They made the symptoms of my anxiety less crippling so that I could seek treatment, then when I'd been through treatment, I got to a point where I could stop taking them and not have to worry about them anymore. See, bandaid!

To YOU, it's a false statement. That doesn't mean that they're NOT a bandaid, it just means that everyone's different in their anxiety and what works for them, which, from being on this site, you should be well aware of.
