In reply to benzos for alcoholics?, posted by verne on February 21, 2002, at 13:06:16
Hi Verne -
Sorry to cast a dissenting vote, but as an alcoholic who's worked in addiction, I've seen a number of cases where benzo use has triggered cravings for alcohol that have resulted in relapse. They work on the same receptors - that's why a benzo can kill a hangover. Normal people can handle them, but alcoholics, including me, don't seem to be able to. Whatever you decide, good luck -
- Jane
