Hi!
He's not dependent yet JACJ!!
If alternatives are effective, long-term use of benzodiazepines is best avoided... but if nothing else works.... using a benzo long term isn't necessarily such a bad thing..... unless, that is, you don't want to run the risk of becoming dependent.
If I knew a drug that would make me well I'd be happy to be dependent on it- unfortunately I've never found such a drug. Benzos are not the answer for me, and they certainly weren't the answer for you, but they are the answer for some people. Whether Matt will be helped or harmed by his benzo I cannot predict. Anyway, I'm not the prescriber :-)
