I'm not sure if you're in the US CG, but the 'county system' here has a big crackdown on prescribing benzos.
I've said to my P, I wish this would have happened many years ago, but no .. I was one who was prescribed high doses of it.
I hope young peeps will not be prescribed it unless tragedy should strike them and perhaps then, if absolutely necessary, a small dose of Ativan, or science will uncover something helpful and less addictive.
The chart Quintal provided in my thread above 'doesn't fit me too well', though I find it VERY interesting; perplexing. I guess it is the half-life thing going on w/ me. I do metabolize meds very quickly. I have to wear patches for estrogen as pills give me migraines.
I found a website about women and benzodiazepines.
