[La...] Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 You're welcome, Moya. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on it. It seems pretty balanced to me, and I'm glad to see that benzoediazepines are being written about it important medical journals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[be...] Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yes. It's nice to see something in print. I wish the US medical journals will catch on. But the article is something I think we've known all along. Bets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Did you see the editorial in JAMA a few weeks ago (posted here in the News)? Have a look, if not. Great piece in an American journal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Did you see this New York magazine article from 2012? It's called "Listening to Xanax". http://nymag.com/news/features/xanax-2012-3/index1.html I'm not sure if it was posted on BB already, but I thought I'd put it up here in case you haven't seen it.

[Qu...] Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Good article Lapis. I was that typical driven, high achieving New Yorker in the article, and when mild anxiety hit - very mild compared to what I read about in the comments section - my fancy Upper East Side GP hooked me on Klonopin. The rest, y'all know. The comments section is even more interesting that the article ! Thanks again lapis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Oh Man, I can only guess how many benzo scripts are given out in NYC! Must be the capital of it all there. Take care, Qui! I hope you're getting better and better. Glad to hear from you! Lapis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
