I wish we had more gender specific meds. I also think womem may speak more openly about their use of meds than men. I think benzo's in general have a high stigmatizing quality - a fact I really dislike. There are inapproiate users and inpapproiate prescribers, but the meds themselves are not "bad" and can make a huge impact on anxiety treatment.
