[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. [b]Taking them a couple times a year for panic attacks or episodic anxiety issues[/b] (like flying, or going to the dentist) is fine. 
Signed, a doctor. [/quote]

This is key.  They work really well for anxiety.  Most anxiety sufferers don’t get anxiety only a couple of times a year, end up taking them regularly and  become addicted.  And there are many doctors who don’t warn patients that these are to be used only occasionally for severe anxiety.[/quote]
