"What I meant was that it is very difficult to actually kill yourself with benzos alone. You are more likely to die from an overdose of tylenol than of valium."..

Think of this senario"


Slight overdose of valium..maybe an extra pill. you know. Nothing else..OK..driving along. Person is more sleepy than usual. kinda dozes off, hits a tree. person dead...Or dozes off, two lane rural road, dozes off, and hits another car..now more than original driver is dead..That is my point..

Many people die from taking benzos alone..No one looks for benzos unless they are famous..or family wants an autopsy..
It is listed as a "heart attack" or falls asleep at wheel...or fell and knocked themselves out...It just isn't looked for. Tylenol, aceteminophin..causes liver cancer, proven, that is how it kills...You didn't know? Now you do..


Your point at its root is.. "Valium is safe."
It is not safe, it is very very dangerous. As are the other benzos..

I've said enuf..end of rant..no more today...
