In reply to where benzo's prescribed more in the 80's?, posted by rjlockhart98 on May 31, 2005, at 21:24:46
Too right they were. Here came the new thing. Nonaddictive, impossible to overdose on, and selective for anxiety as opposed to sedation. The comparison was with the barbiturates. Hundreds at a time. Quite harmless (almost). You could become dependant on them, but only "psychologically". Maybe the pdrs were just happy to have something to give their patients.
