@cindisue I agree. Sleep is extremely important for health, mood, and so many other reasons. Being in the medical field I believe that Benzodiazepines are very helpful but they are addictive drugs. I think if they are used as prescribed they should be given. There are so many people who abuse them which presents problems for those who don’t.

@wgray they also wreak havoc with your brain and are not meant for long term use, from what I’ve read

@wgray, As you said, "if they are used as prescribed, they should be given." Just because some people abuse them, should NOT affect doctors prescribing them for people who need them. Once someone abuses them, they should be discontinued for that person. They are punishing everyone for the wrong-doings of some. And that is completely WRONG.
