In reply to Re: BENZO Preferences? one easier to WD???? » qbsbrown, posted by yxibow on September 13, 2006, at 22:52:56
So basically you're saying if i want off of benzos, and i'm only at 12.5 mgs valium, that im in a pretty good place, and to forget about the burry vision etc? That switching over to ativan would in fact make the situation more difficult. I believe that ativan and xanax bind to the GABA like 4 times more potent than valium.
I would love to hear and understand your arguments against Ashton. I have read her work, and seen some of her cult followings, whom somewhat scare me, and many are pissed at the psychiatric community as a whole.
I did however notice, although she ran a benzo WD clinic for 10 or so years (and considered the forefront expert on benzo WD) there was only an average of about 10-12 patients treated per year, most of whom were severe cases. So that intrigued me.
Also tell me what is more of a scientific approach to WD. 10% weekly every 1-2 weeks?
Thanks Jay,
Brian
