Thank you for the article. I have to wonder how long Doctors continued to prescribe benzodiazapines, KNOWING they were so dangerous,

I was on Ativan for anxiety after a cancer diagnosis. Started relying on it for sleep. My doctor told me he wanted me off it and I did a very slow taper. I’m thankful that he said I needed to be off it

I’m positive they knew a long time ago. They just had no idea what to do with all their horribly dependent patients.
