Perhaps you're right. Nonetheless, I know when I was vainly searching for answers during my withdrawal it took the help of a few people willing to confront a few truths and the most important was to operate from the perspective that I needed to heal. Healing is what I did and what I continue to do. I do know plenty of people who have been brain damaged from these drugs(including myself) and while it may cause anxiety, I personally think the best way to properly recover is to understand the truth about these medications and their peddlers and then gather an understanding about what is the best way to undertake the recovery process. Operating under the misguided assumption that the brainwashed doctors do that these medications are benign and nonaddictive will shield you from fully seeking a complete recovery. However, this is only my opinion and anyone is free to tell me to jump off a bridge. Take care
