    Not quite accurate....Depression can be anxiety related but it's not a given....Benzo's do not not affect deression on their own.

    And there are no addiction issues with benzos unless you self medicate and suffer from occaisional withdrawals
    So you're saying there's no addiction issues, other than the addiction issues

    I've been taking some sort of Benzo on and off for over 25 years. I assure you they are highly addictive. Also they are one of the worst withdrawal drugs if there is a ranking because Benzo withdrawal can cause sudden death. Why? Because one of the things benzos do is control your heart rate and blood pressure. Combine that with underlying anxiety issues and it's a recipe for disaster. Anybody coming off Benzo abuse should always do it under medical detox conditions.

    I've had to be inpatient 3-4 times for this and they slowly wean you off the medication.

    Of course not. I meant the addiction is not harmful physically. When taken as prescribed benzos are effective treatment so don't be afraid of them because they are addictive.

    Weaning off benzos is not a problem if done correctly.

    You don't need a detox environment for benzos. Valium has an incredibly long half life(days)
