Let’s move on. People with panic disorders finding relief from taking medication is not addiction. It’s a necessary medication to treat a legitimate condition

Like everyone is laughing at this, but it’s actually sad and concerning.

I actually feel bad for her character now. Her sons have gone brokeback Thailand, her daughter wants to move abroad, and her husband is either going to prison or on the run. She needs those !!!!

I thought she was trying to get her husband to take them and she actually doesn’t take them.

They absolutely can be prescribed for long-term use. It's not suggested, but the framing here is bad reporting.

I take it for flying only. And for MRIs. But I can’t imagine trying to function on them. And the constipation they cause makes me not like them.

Just be careful about taking it daily! Once in a while is mostly safe, but after you’ve been on it for a long period of time, it is an incredibly painful process to get off

My college advisor called me on a Sunday morning when another prof rescheduled class to Sunday and asked why I wasn’t there. I had trouble with my back the night before, she suggested an Ativan script

Also really nice if you work in a production plant manufacturing them. Everything can be awful and it’s okay.
