I feel the point of the study is it pointed out that where they thought benzos would increase injuries and decrease medical costs it did the opposite cost more money as antipsychotics were substituted and with it came diabetes, weight gain, and more confusion and broken bones. And They admitted that Ad's are not first line for anxiety that a benzos was first line. 40 some odd years of using them myself finally some validation that they are indeed safe and don't cause older people to fall. I think it's a victory. Less expensive meds, less side effects, and less unnecesary meds. Might mean that name brand can once again be used. As superior to me in response. Phillipa
