I think we are in the age of having to do our own research on drugs and therapies, no matter what they are. I agree with you about AP's-I think the increased use of them is dangerous. I just withdrew from Klonopin and I've withdrawn from Ativan and Xanax. It wasn't a big deal and short of just stopping, I don't think there is as much danger as there is driving on your local interstate. Patients ultimately would pay for the lawsuits to pdocs through higher malpractice insurance. In my area in the US, the pdocs don't take insurance, period-and the visits are very expensive. I guess I never think going to court is a solution to a problem; just causes more problems. My internist always smiles, shakes her head and says, "you are always better informed than the specialists I send you to". And that's because it is my ___!!! The more people "teach" their docs, the more docs may feel the necessity to learn more-but that is really, really hard if you have an arrogant, "I Know Best" doc. Drop them like a bad habit...:>}
