another 22% have Lexapro, Zoloft, and Prozac prescriptions (antidepressants) ... so basically nearly half (I'm guessing there's another good 10-15% of other brands) of America is using shit like this

The drug isn't entirely useless, in terms of helping people with serious anxiety disorders. I think that's a legitimate use. But that's probably...no more than 1% of that 14. The prozac one is ridiculous, I'd love to see the Ritalin/Adderall/Strattera/Vivance numbers.

yeah there's legitimate use for xanax and other benzos, amphetamines too (I'd call 'staying awake' legitimate...), shit like prozac has been clinically proven to be placebo in a majority of cases though

Benzos are also used to treat epilepsy, insomnia, withdrawal from other drugs, muscle spasms, and are used in dental care. I think Xanax and Valium are the most commonly prescribed Benzos, so between all of those + the anxiety disorders 14% seems about right.

the 14% most likely includes xanax + generics

I doubt it's 14% Xanax then an additional x percent of generic brands.
