These are extraordinary claims Phillipa, and they need to be supported by extraordinary evidence. So I'd like to do something else for a change. Could you explain something for me please? I don't think I've ever had a detailed and thorough account of your medication history, and before I can answer your question properly I need more information. I need to know this:
The dose of your first prescription.
The drug.
The duration of your first course of treatment.
Efficacy of this course of treatment on a scale of 1 to 10; 10 being most effective, 1 being least effective.
Reason for terminating.
Dose at termination.
Any withdrawal effects.
Any concurrent medication, if so, dose and duration of treatment.
Reason for restarting medication.
The dose of your first prescription.
The drug.
The duration of your first course of treatment.
Efficacy of this course of treatment on a scale of 1 to 10; 10 being most effective, 1 being least effective.
Reason for terminating.
Dose at termination.
Any withdrawal effects.
Any concurrent medication, if so, dose and duration of treatment.And so on for each course of treatment.
I also need to know how you rate the current efficacy of your benzodiazepines, again efficacy of this course of treatment on a scale of 1 to 10; 10 being most effective, 1 being least effective.
Cognitive impairment is harder to measure subjectively, and I'm not being rude, but I think I've seen substantial evidence of that in your posts over the years here. On the topic of withdrawal symptoms I remember you describing a scenario after the birth of your first daughter where your Valium was discontinued abruptly, and you suffered withdrawal symptoms as a result. I'll search the archives for that post while you're filing out my questionnaire, is that a fair deal?
Also, I have in my possession a few babblemails which run contrary to your claims here. Do you get receipts for your babblemails? I never post details in public that people have given me in confidence, but I'd like you to check your email inbox for a receipt of a babblemail you sent me on 6th April this year.
