Everyone has to make their own decision as to what constitutes quality of life. I think the original question was about "addiction" not "dependence". Yes, I agree that longterm benzo use creates dependence and can be difficult to taper off. I think addiction depends entirely on the patient's history, genetics, and personal predisposition. I understand that you are trying to warn people not to use these as a first line medication, however, for some, these medications have literally been life saving. Lets make the clear distinction between "dependence" vs. "addiction". Very different entities IMHO.
