Yes. Some doctors do; some don't. My new doctor was horrified when I told her what I was prescribed. She's young, and she said the first thing they say in medical school nowadays is, "Benzos are bad." My first doctor was much older and clearly from a different era of medical school.
- jolux 4y agoMy doctor is young and gave me a limited prescription for ten doses of lorazepam while I was adjusting to duloxetine, which often exacerbates anxiety in the first couple weeks. I was experiencing regular panic attacks before starting so he wanted to be sure they didn't become disabling. Benzos are safe when the amount and duration are carefully controlled. The problem is chronic usage, which is more or less contraindicated these days.
