It is a situation of benefit/risk, Bassman.
Sometimes it's necessary to take benzos.
But I think that there is more to the story
of medication habituation than is revealed.
I am not at all sure that Klonopin was a
necessary drug for me, and trying to get off
it almost killed me. I can't get off it.
It's hard to get that through to laymen and medicine men. There seems to be an element
of "clinical denial" based on sponsored
studies and grant-driven confirmations of
the drug's benefit.I wouldn't be surprised if many deaths have
been a result of unpredicted prescription
medicine use and abuse, and attributed to
the patient's condition.Squiggles
