Here in Canada most doctors including my own are reluctant to prescribe benzos. Even when the benefits outweigh the risks. Plus gp's really shouldn't be the ones making decisions about psychiatric meds anyways but it falls on them since our mental health system here in BC is pretty much broken.

I've been on anti benzo forums and don't really believe in extended withdrawals from benzos as they claim. Mostly because there's no evidence and a lot of posters have quit their meds cold turkey or tapered too fast and then they're surprised when their brains rebel. That's just stupid. Plus, they fail to take into account their underlying conditions (anxiety, panic disorder) for which they took the benzos in the first place.

I'm someone who is afraid of dependency and I don't chase the high. I don't even get the high anyway and that's good. I did in the beginning with lorazepam but nit klonopin. It just calms my anxiety and ra ing panicked thoughts so I can function. If I had to taje it for the rest of my life I wouldn't have a problem with that since the alternative is uncontrollable fear deoression and thoughts of suicide.

Recently, I read a great book about the so called War on Drugs and how it's a dismal failure and there is so much misinformation that it boggles the mind.

One thing I found interesting is that some cancer pafients who were given actual heroin for pain and went into remission were successfully weaned off of it. The thinking is that if drugs are taken purely for therapeutic reasons the risk of addiction is rare. Once the cancer patients were no longer in pain they didn't feel the need for heroin anymore.

I question everything now.
