[La...] Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 The full title of this American study is "Survey of Primary Care and Mental Health Prescribers' Perspectives on Reducing Opioid and Benzodiazepine Co-Prescribing Among Veterans." Here's a quote from the "Results" section of the abstract: "More than 40% of both prescriber groups indicated that coprescribing continues because of beliefs that patients appear stable without adverse events and tapering/discontinuation is too difficult." Not helpful. Downright dangerous, actually. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27558857 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
