Dr. Ashton's logic goes like this: you have a severe flu and are taking aspirin to relieve some of the symptoms. You decide to stop taking the aspirin and you say, "oh, I feel weak, I have a headache, my joints hurts, etc. I must be withdrawing from the aspirin"-which then is borne out because you don't feel back to normal for weeks, proving aspirin is "addicting". Every class of psychoactive drugs has its extreme detractors- Dr. Ashton is sort of the Tom Cruise of benzos, in my opinion. I think she has done a lot of damage to a lot of people by convincing people/docs in the UK of the evils of benzos. I strongly disagree.
