It works very well and that’s why we have been using it, sometimes I feel so frustrated and scared because it’s horrible to hear how many people are going through the same thing. Honestly if we analyzed most drugs they give to us it would be scary to hear what each medication has the potential to do but we still use them for help and doctors rarely do anything about it until it’s brought to our attention, this is compounded by the fact that they are so very addictive. I mentioned earlier that all the attention came out with benzodiazepines when the opioid addiction problems started, the poor people who were given this drug were told it wasn’t addictive but that was a lie and then the doctors had to reduce and even discontinue giving them to patients. Now we are hearing about all the suffering they are going through and even buying drugs online that are killing them. This is a proverbial nightmare that wasn’t their fault but they are the ones paying for it, my fear is that this sad situation will and is happening to the people who use benzodiazepines. We are told that we learn from our mistakes but this is one very big mistake and now we are hearing about it,

I also wanted to mention that opioids can not be taken with benzodiazepines because the combination is quite lethal so knowing that they want to get rid of benzodiazepines, I have read many stories about it and although they can’t stop the opioids cold turkey either they don’t want people to use them putting undue pressure on us.
