Hi Colin,
You're absolutely right. I can't imagine a more dangerous med than one that triggered a suicidal hypomania like Wellbutrin did in me. Yet no doctors are afraid of prescribing Wellbutrin, and many are afraid of benzos. Not much sense to it.
Both Wellbutrin and benzos can be useful, and pdocs should have the sense to know when to prescribe what.
