I agree. I do know people who take them once a week or so, and they don't get into problems with them
On the other hand, I know people on low doses who take them every day and struggle mightily to get off of them and suffer withdrawal symptoms for long periods of weeks and months and even years.
They are drugs that are highly regarded as effective in the medical community, and for me, they kept me at an even keel and able to function in a profession dominated by stress and deadlines and conflicting relationships.
And they destroyed my life. Well, I had a pretty heavy hand in that, too.
