As Prescribed: a documentary film by Holly Hardman

For over fifty years, doctors have been prescribing benzodiazepines. The drugs bear well-known names: Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan. They are commonly thought of as safe, helping to take the edge off or give a better night's sleep. As Prescribed, however, documents a strikingly different narrative. Through personal accounts and investigating mounting evidence, the film reveals the errant medical culture that promotes them. The result is the story of an epidemic that is devastating lives globally.

​Believe Us!

​That’s my cry.  
Believe us. I want people to listen to and understand benzodiazepine withdrawal sufferers when they ask to be heard.

I am now a number of years post cessation yet I have still sharp memories of my excruciating Klonopin withdrawal experience. When we beg family and friends to listen to us,  to hear what we know, to listen to our accounts of an unending visit to hell, to listen to our pleas to somehow return to us our lost lives and selves, please believe us. Understand that you and I and nobody on earth were meant to experience this pharmaceutical nightmare. Cont'd.
