Glydin, you might want to make some sort of a FAQ, akin to Dr. Bob's own "Appropriateness of long-term treatment with benzodiazepines".
A key finding I've cited in these discussions is that some have faulty GABA processing due to genetic reasons. Trying benzos for the first time causes that "aha" reaction to the sensation of feeling normal for the first time ever.
That Panic411 document compares it to essential hypertension, which also can't be cured, and needs to be controlled by medications *lifelong*. What is so different about needing benzos lifelong to aloow proper GABA regulation?
