Good point Bob!
I do think sensationalized negative posts are made here, about certain medications.
I don't find them helpful at all.
I sometimes question the motives of some posters.
It would seem to me that any drug can be useful to SOMEONE, given the right circumstances.It's much more productive to post opinions, experiences and information about medications (both positive and negative), rather than to make dramatic statements, with tabloid-style subject lines!
People come here for help, or with curiosity. They don't need to be fed anti-drug propoganda.
I think there's a bit of a trend towards anti-benzo-ism here lately, for instance.I think we can self-regulate here at Babble. Perhaps by posting reasoned rebuttals to hysteria-raising posts and/or a simple "I don't appreciate scaremongering posts" nm ,subject only, post!
As to GHB, Xyrem, Rohypnol etc.- let's hear from users that have been helped. I hate to think a good medication can get a bad rep. and people are prevented from benefitting from it, just because the tabloid loving populace has turned it into an "urban myth".
Any suggestions, yourself, Bob?
Regards,
Jas
