-Also I do not think they are addictive at all...I have been using them on and off for the last 10 years and never felt any cravings or escalating the dose and withdrawal from them is not that difficult...IMHO I think they are one of the best medications ever invented and that is why millions of people are using them because they are very clean drugs and fast acting,and even though SSRIs and the likes are being advertized ad anxiylotics,the frequency of benzodiazepines has not declined...and most anxious people who use SSRis &ADs also use benzodiazepines.....
one other note : I think that bromazepam is underrated in this board compared to clonazepam,ativan and xanax, although it is very commonly used all over the world except USA...any bromazepam useres out there?
