[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. [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]
My 78yo mil has been popping xanax like tic tacs for 30 years. She appeared late and intoxicated by benzos to her dhs funeral. She was laughing. She takes them for anxiety.[/quote]
