"It has always been pick your poison".
That does not apply to Benzodiazapines prescribed by Doctors to patients when they KNEW/and KNOW the inherent dangers
The patient did not get to pick anything.
They have been lied to and duped into taking these Benzodiazapines which are now considered very dangerous with harmful side effects and are a horror to get off.
No, no choice here. This is on the medical profession.
Period.

I have been on a benzo for many years with not one single issue. Remember your doctor prescribes a medicine because he believes that the relief you get out-ways the side effects. Sure, there might be long-long issues but living in the present is what matters now; to get through the rough times you are dealing with in the moment. Getting off a benzo is very, very hard, but remember, the reason you got on them was that you were having a very, very hard time. A doctor will help you get off of them slowly. Good luck!
