I think benzodiazepines can be partially behind my friend, Jerold Haas' death especially the withdrawal from it. These drugs are really strong and it if it is strong in a way that doesn't help it leads to great distortions in thinking. Some drugs can help a lot but if it doesn't help it can hurt pretty bad. I take some drugs that help me tremendously but I won't last long without it because I can't get restful sleep without it anymore. In that case I have a dependency without addiction but I read that benzos can also be addicting.
It is a shame Darry did not get the kind of help I received. I believe he died because of a psychiatric system that doesn't take time to observe patients and make small adjustments. I pleaded that Darry get hospitalized and I think he was but it just didn't work out for him. They got him in and in a few days he was out. I was in for weeks. I've basically been on the same medicine regimen since then 14 years ago.
