Just found this web site and would like to ask a question about benzodiazepine use on the job. Mine is a sensitive high stress public safety task. Our family physician prescribes them for me to use in times of extreme stress, which is about every weekend. We know about benzo dependence and withdrawal, and tried Effexor instead, but the tremors and hypotension made venlafaxine impractical. Effexor did not do much for situational anxiety, either.
My question is, if I were called into court and had to testify that I was on benzos during a critical incident, could I be convicted if something went wrong, or assessed some huge civil penalty to pay the family of somebody who lost their life? Just curious.
Since this is a place for medication consumers, I will share some information about a settlement for customers overcharged for anti-anxiety medications, but I will put that in a new thread, to avoid confusion.
In mortal pleasure,
Appolyon
