> So are you saying the benzos are safe? Love Phillipa
That is a tough question.Ill answer by asking are any of these drugs safe?If they admitdly unsure of there method of action then they cant be sure of their safety,and god knows we dont need it at this point as we have seen the safety promise of ssris go out the window.
Benzos at the least are extremly addicting,as are many medications.But and i ask this sincerly cause i cant find it,what is the common yearly death tolld of isolated benzos use,and i say isolated strongly.
As for the addiction danger,to me a life of untreated clinical anxiety is far more dangerous,on the highway,on a dangerous job,and life crippling,so as u must do with anti depressants,one must weigh the safety with the overall life benifit,and for me as a pc tech thats easy.
For instance i remeber during xmas id have to engage in presantions on laptops in front of groups and groups,when i felt anxiety come on id go to the bath room,take klonopin,breath,and come out anxiety free and peform my job.
During my time med free,and all natural,i had training and a sit down,(manager sits next to u)and with untreated anxiety my mind flooded and i made a fool of myself as well as not keeping the job.
So to treated anxiety i owe a lot,so the anti benzo beliefs slide right off me because no one can state anything in words what i experianced first hand.
Lol hope u werent looking for a yes or no answer
