na na na,
we don't know that, yet. Give it another 10 years.But benzos, while in my opinion a very useful tool has its very devastating disadvantages. ...and I am not talking about tolerance. I am talking of your short-term memory going down the drain.
I believe we must always weigh pro vs. contra, and what we must keep in mind, at all times, is to quality of life, that is to regain quality of life.
My 50 cents
> The reason there is so much pushing of SSRI's etc over benzo's is that there are no new benzo's out there making billions of dollars for the pharmaceutical companies. They will always push newer meds, because that's where the money is. SSRI's and other meds are much worse for you than benzos, from what I've read.
