Reasons Why I Do Not Like
Benzodiazepines
By Dr. Eric Morse, MD
Benzos kill people in combination with methadone and buprenorphine by suppressing breathing. At the Morse Clinics, we limit doses of methadone or buprenorphine to minimize this risk as part of our Benzo Policy. I believe that is why we have a much lower death rate than the national average.
Benzos are addictive, especially in folks who already suffer with an addiction. They lead to relapse.
Benzos cause dementia. September 2014’s British Medical Journal published a study that showed just 91 days of taking Benzos in your lifetime increased your risk of developing dementia by over 40%.
