I dunno, honestly. I think docs pick on benzos because they're off patent and have had a questionable rep since the late 70s or 80s, when Valium was still the top dog benzo and lots of exposes were done Valium addiction and such. Then xanax turned out to be the crack cocaine of the benzos, on and on it goes.

The way I see it, benzos are just safe replacements for barbiturates. I know docs call them "anxiolytics," but...ummm...they're safe, pleasant, cheap sedatives. I think our culture is Puritanical enough that anything that makes you feel good is regarded with suspicion.

Old school docs regarded meds as poisons. Clearly, they weren't shrinks, lol. Point is...any artificial substance you take for any reason has potential ill effects, short and long-term. My best guess is that a lot of the ADs, AP/AAPs, stimulants, etc., have just as bad, if not worse, long term side effects...

...but we don't hear about it :-(
