John, most of the people who frequent this board have severe mood disorders. There is clinical evidence to show that what you are saying is false. It seems to me that you are parroting slogans from the anti-benzo fanatics. People who are already suffering from extreme anxiety do not need you here to spread more unfounded panic. If you want to discuss your own experiences, fine, but please do not presume to speak for everyone else. I think your ranting is actually doing more harm than good...you may indeed cause some people to continue to suffer needlessly by scaring them away from medications that help. I've been on more than 10 AD's with terrible results, and I even tried 18 months totally med free while I focused on acupuncture, meditation, relaxation, hypnotism, hot saunas, etc, etc. After several trips to the ER and constant thoughts of suicide, I have finally found some relief in clonazepam. Even if it eventually poops out, that is a chance I am willing to take. Just be very careful with your words--they can be really dangerous.
