Mayo Clinic Benzodiazepine Side Effect List

I’m not sure how I originally got to this web page, but I found it remarkable that Mayo Clinic had such a comprehensive side effect list caused by these neurotoxins.  There does seem to be a general movement to better educate the public. I certainly hope so.  This is the kind of printout that doctors should be handing their patients along with a signed consent form. I would have never agreed to take them, that’s for sure!

In quite the contrast, here is the Web MD page:

You read it and you think; oh, the person who made that list actually knows someone who went through this and bothered to do a good job (or had it themselves).

I haven't found one person yet who knew anything who wasn't personally injured or had some kind of deep emotional come-to-jesus moment with this stuff.

It's not like other drugs; if your experience is purely clinical you just don't get it and you do a shit job. Another part of the weirdness puzzle of Benzos.
