Awesome article.  I have a paper subscription to The New Yorker and had read it already. So glad a publication with the gravitas of TNY published this.

Although the article is primarily about antidepressants, there is quite a bit about benzos there too.  Loved the shout out to Heather Ashton and her work, and to Benzo Buddies too.  A well written, thoughtful article with a lot to say about polydrugging unsuspectiing patients and the thorny morass of trying to get off them.  Thank you for sharing.
