[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Benzos send more people to rehab than any other drug, prescription or not.[/quote]

I have used them regularly for 20 years as needed with zero problems. Not everyone who uses benzos becomes an addict. It depends on a host of factors, notably genetics. For those who can use them responsibly, they can be a life-saver, so please don't paint with a broad brush.[/quote]

Exactly. [b]I hate these "sound bite posters" who have very little knowledge about these drugs but feel the need to chime in with "benzos bad"[/b] in every thread.[/quote]

Benzos are bad. Very bad. And plenty of people with vast knowledge on this will tell you that. NP. [/quote]

Like who?  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll: [/quote]

Like the AMA. [/quote]

The AMA does not say “Benzos are bad”. Yes taking them recreationally is bad. Taking them a couple times a year for panic attacks or episodic anxiety issues (like flying, or going to the dentist) is fine. 
Signed, a doctor. [/quote]

Yes, "taking them a couple times a year" is fine. However, most people are not taking them "just a couple times a year." The AMA advises against benzo use for more than 4 months. You know why? Because "benzos are bad," in fact very bad, for many people. But given that you are a doctor you must know this. But, oh wait, there is all kinds of stuff you folks should know that you don't (see opioid crisis). [/quote]

This will blow your mind but there are databases and I can see if you’re filling scrips for benzos from multiple docs at multiple pharmacies. I don’t care if you think my 60 year old patient shouldn’t take Xanax to fly to her grandkids once a year. No one does. Get a life. [/quote]
