fuck kikes

I read about Diazepam abuse in Scotland

unironically diazepam is supremely effective for anxiety, but in the long run just terrible

tolerance, memory issues, your bones will start to get weak

yeah in the long term is amplifies your anxiety

exactly

that's why doctors here are supposed to only prescribe it for 2-3 weeks max

unless the person has a serious problem

Before initiating a course of benzodiazepine treatment,
Explicitly advise the patient regarding the duration of treatment.
Use of benzodiazepines
beyond 6 weeks is
not recommended

lol this PDF is so ironic

I had a doctor from this medical health group prescribe me benzos much longer then 6 weeks

i was prescribed them for maybe 4 when i initally went to my doc about anxiety, i didnt really know shit except they worked

so i proceeded to purchase them elsewhere

and shortly learned of and ignored the dangers lol

absolute shambles

outside of being told "drugs are bad" since childhood i think it would be hard to convey the absolute hellworld of addiction, withdrawal and such and the myriad of consequences

"you have to live it" - rich piana

I feel like no one really talks about the horror of benzo addiction

opiates are much more popular to talk about in the media

I don't know why that is

@steamboating I've heard that story alot

it is kind of crazy when you consider how much more lethal benzo addiction can be

i don't think you can even die from opiate withdrawal? i may be wrong

Yeah you can't

benzo is nowhere near as needlessly euphoric and awesome fun as opiates though so there is that angle

if you looked at this before you were prescribed a benzo would you ever take it?

if i read that and coupled with a bit more in depth a walkthrough of how addiction starts and such maaybe not

i did feel as though i really needed them though, but thats kinda just the pull of addiction already tooken hold

well i guess im thinking about before i took the plunge outside of prescriptions

if it was before benzo use totally then i probably wouldnt

patients should probably be much more directly informed instead of left to read small print on paper in box

@steamboating I think the biggest problem with benzos is doctors not at all informing patients about the possible long term side effects when they come off the stuff
