[Am...] Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Interesting list. Does anyone know why the slash '/' is used so much and inconsistently? Like w/d = withdrawal which is a single word? In normal written language, it is hardly used at all - and if, more like a shorthand for the words 'and' and 'or'. So what's the system/rationale behind the abreviations with the slash in them?

[no...] Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Hi The following is a list of common abbreviations used within the medical profession and/or at BenzoBuddies.

If you are using a medical term several times within a post, it it would be better to write something like this: *We always advise against a c/t (cold turkey) withdrawal as it can be dangerous and counter productive. Unfortunately many come here having already attempted a c/t withdrawal. Simply, explain the abbreviation the first time you use it within a post. what does: " DLMT " mean?
