No such intent from my end.I'm just an educated consumer that at one time got burned by the medical system (like yourself) but in my case it was the witholding of BZDS as an equal option to all other psychotropics for chronic anxiety disorder (because of the effective scare tactic "they were "addictive" misinformation") that led to my wanting to join others to set the record straight..at least straighter than it has been. Proportionality in risk assessment is all that I am trying to iform people about - without all of the hype.
I am afraid that as technical (and comprehensive, which is my point) as the report is, there is only one way to dispute it. Either disredit the organisation or take out of context those bits that are what gives it the comprehensive strength that it enjoys.
I really do not view this as a competition of stats knowing the highly idiosyncratic nature of individual responses throughout the psychiatic field concerning psychotropics.
Sincerely,
Alan.
