Just because something can be used to get high, doesn't mean it is a bad med. I do not take benzos to get high, I take them to feel better. Doctors usually don't start people on a large dosage anyway. Addiction/physical dependence is only possible if someone takes the med regularly.

I have tried many, many meds in different groups, and nothing worked for anxiety the way benzos did for me. If there was a stigma free med that could not create dependence, I would switch in a heartbeat! But still found nothing...
