What I never got was why there's so many people on this board, including me, who have been working with a doctor for a while trying a lot of different drugs, and then don't get benzos, which are seen as a last resort by our docs.
Then we get to turn our heads and see benzo sales top so high other prescriptions. I mean, I can't even get Klonopin prescribed, and would never even bother asking my doc for something like Valium or Xanax. Yet sitcoms mention it like it's sold next to the hard candies, and somehow enough people get prescribed it to top sales listings. So why are people who resorting to boards like this everyday for help still not getting them, then people who probably couldn't spell them get them given without asking (as I assume, since so many are sold, and only a certain percentage are of those who bother to research these things).
Still, they do sedate, which I don't like...
