Most Dangerous Pill? Article

This was forwarded to me from a friend who has been very supportive in my journey to get off all meds, especially the ativan.

The article is easily found through a google search - "American's most dangerous pill" - it's the Alternet article.  It probably won't tell you anything you don't already know (sadly) but it'd be a great article to forward to someone who doesn't really understand what you are going through.

You know, I love that these drugs are getting vilified finally. But it usually seems to be at the expense of their victims.

I seriously do not appreciate being referred to as a drug abuser. I prefer the term "accidental addict".

I mean really, does following your doctors advice make someone a drug abuser? Doesn't that make the doctor a drug dealer?

I may be wrong, but I think there is already a thread started on this one called "America's Most Poisonous Pill."  Forgive me if I am.

This article that is referenced (http://www.alternet.org/drugs/151166/america%27s_most_dangerous_pill) is the BEST article I've read in a long time on Klonopin.

 

I'm sharing it with everyone I know who knows I was taking the stuff and got off.

 

 

Thanks for the link Matthew.  I just printed it out to add to my repertoire of benzo info!

Tanya, I completely agree.  I refused to be called a drug abuser when it wasn't MY idea to take a med, it was prescribed to me by a well established doctor, and I followed the instructions on its use to the letter.  Is my husband a "drug abuser" for taking Nexium once per day for acid reflux?
