Good grief - i would say that your assessment
of The Merck is on the side of arrogance,
considering the caliber of doctors who have
contributed to this tome; not to mention the
similarities to other medical reference texts.

Could you recommend a better, more 'pro-benzo'
or should i say 'pro-your perspective' medical
reference text, and point to the chapter you
have seen so we can share information?

I'm afraid that a catchword like "benzophobic"--
though possibly suited to marketing persuasion
techniques and rhetoric, does not move me; not
in the light of evidence and what doctors are
aware of regarding this class of drugs, including
my own doctor. This does not imply that the
antidepressants, esp. the SSRIs (a glory drug if
i ever saw one) are not with similar problems
of "discontinuation syndrome" which has lately
come to light.

As Ray Nimmo used to say (and i believe he
quoted me LOL - "the truth will out"). The truth
does come out after a generation of people taking
a certain class of drugs--it is just difficult
to do with the poor animals that the drugs are
tested on--their lives being nasty, brutish,
and short.
