Hi Paul,

>What started all the benzophobia in the UK?

They got a lot of negative publicity on TV (a long time ago). They were often very carelessly prescribed in the 60s, 70s and early 80s. There was a massive backlash because so many people found that they were physically dependent on their medication. In some cases, these people never needed a benzo in the first place. People were prescribed benzos to treat everything from mild headaches to period pain.

Btw, Seroxat was the last drug to receive bad publicity in the UK. Effexor hasn't received any bad publicity yet, most people will not have heard of it. Doctors are prescribing a lot of Effexor at the moment, I imagine there'll be a documentary about the withdrawal symptoms soon!

>Is it common for people to go to the Netherlands to get their benzos?

I doubt it but I don't know. Benzos can be purchased without a presciption in certain European countries, I have no idea about the Netherlands but I would imagine that they are prescription-only.

>Can she prescribe medications or is she just a lecturer?

Presumably she can prescribe, she used to run a benzo withdrawal clinic.

>Arrghh!!!

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't buy any unless you can ensure a supply for the future.

Have you ever tried an MAOI? Phenelzine (Nardil) or tranylcypromine (Parnate). Are they available in Indonesia? If not, you might be able to import.

Kind regards,
Ed.
