I've remarked to friends in private that I've noticed a sharp decline in the cognitive function of Nardil users - that's why I don't want to take it myself despite the relief it might bring.
How can you say that the study was flawed based on a presumption? There's a clear decline in the mental health of the benzodiazepine users, but not for the opiate users. If the people in that study were being prescribed benzos for mental illness as you claim then that's pretty good evidence that they are ineffective for that purpose, and even harmful to mental health when taken long-term. I'd say this study reflects real life more accurately than one based on artificial randomly-assigned drug choices. Since opiates are also excellent anxiolytics (before tolerance sets in of course - just like benzos) I'd say they're superior to benzos in this regard. Thanks for the babblemail.
