Fact: benzos are a drug of abuse in the street; they have a street value.
Fact: every doctor has been had by a savy benzo abuser (that sticks in their memory).
Fact: Doctors who are found to have prescription patterns for benzos which are markedly different then their peers, will generally be investigated by the DEA
Fact: some states make benzo writing an unwelcoming prospect for a doctor (eg NY state triplicate prescriptions with no refills.)These are the things that discourage pdocs from prescribing benzos more frequently; coming into their office, refusing to try anything but the benzo, isn't gonna come off well, even if it's right!
