World Benzodiazepine Awareness Day 2018 Podcast

Amen to that. Feels to me from the way Whitaker talks about it is that, in spite of his knowledge, he still treats it as an A issue in some way. I am too broke to buy his book (would like to in the future), but did he get into it in his book? Did he mention anything about withdrawal from benzos and/or need to taper and/or neurological deficits? He seems so heavily researched on AD's and AP's, and I am impressed by that. Really am.

 

It's been awhile since I read AOAA so I can't recall the specifics but I do believe that he has always used the A word and I don't recall him talking about these drugs from a neurological damage standpoint.

 

So it sounds like his thinking has evolved some but he might still have a ways to go. It took me awhile to realize the importance getting all of this right and I'm sure it's the same for a lot of others. Hopefully former patients will clue him in and hopefully he will listen as he is a prominent voice for the cause.
