  2. @Miles Davidson In all fairness to physicians who are following a best practice protocol, they are not succumbing to this archaic standard in modern day medicine. Theres one fundamental thing to understand and it is not a tinfoil hat conspiratorial view; big pharma is very closely connected with the medical world. Unfortunately, this relationship has been abused by both sides. The over prescribing that you're describing is slowly receding, but is still a huge problem. However, there are some folks with extraordinarily debilitation behavioral health issues who benefit greatly from these drugs. It is not a horrible drug if doled out to those suffering terribly (e.g. severe migraines, mental health issues with psychotic features, etc.) But even for those folks, they stop becoming effective eventually, then the does needs to increase or another sistering benzo is perscribed. We are still in the infancy of neurophysiology, pharmadynamics, pharmacokinetics and medicine in general. Remember, there are some quality practitioners who follow a bioethical guideline, but theres so much underlying corruption and contemporary research, which is being funded by the very scumbags who fueled this problem in the past and still do. I'm in the field and in my experience it's a very messy and confusing situation. As a psychotherapeutic clinician, you almost have to go rogue in terms of the psychiatrists we collaborate with, because there are so many egotistical and greedy MDs at the upper echelon of the neuro and behavioral-oriented fields.
