> Why are doctors so afraid to prescribe it, yet will give you other benzos. Valium is nowhere near as addictive or strong as Xanax or all of those other horrible new benzos they're so fond of giving out.
I think they all cause dependance & I don't think one is better than the other in this reguard.
Addiction is a totally different matter, psychological aspects come into play. People
have drugs of choice in addiction so I think it is highly variable as to which benzo is more addictive.OTOH, if you have an addictive personality/have problems with addiction then benzos are not for you. So I see this as a non-issue.
