yeah...I personally don't see why we aren't using benzos in old folks. I mean, yes, high-doses and the wrong benzos will cause problems like falls and resulting fractures, but if its done carefully...you can improve their lives, and the lives of those around them. Seems like low-dose Klonopin/Tranxene could be highly effective w/o causing problems. It also seems like altering the environment would make old people happier and less in need of psychotropics. But then...shrinks would be out of a job.
