BZDs Now 3rd Most Abused Drugs Behind Alcohol and Cannibas


[Ch...]

"Professor Colin Bradley, head of General Practitioners at UCC, says while it is known at the highest level there are issues around the prescribing of BZDs, nothing solid has been done to counter it.

 

"In 2002, a report by a governmental group, the Benzodiazepine Committee, identified the problem and drew up guidelines but since then nothing has happened," he said.

 

The main "meat" of the article is talking about how they are being "abused" by kids.  This begs the question, where are these meds comiing from.  But the inclusion of the above would suggest that they know where the source is but don't want to make a direct connection.  But then they also neglect to mention the fact that of the "alleged" 1.2 - 1.5 million (dependant?) users of benzos in the UK, how many of them are not "abusers" but in fact dependant as a result of their doctors "judgement".  On the other hand at least the topic is getting play.  Guess I should be grateful for that.  

 

Thanks for the article XII
