This is not a documentary really just anecdotal

This is not a documentary really just anecdotal manipulation over Benzodiazepines and ignoring the real issues with them being so frequently prescribed. Some people completely exploit them where others actually benefit from them. This is not a series of scientific data or psychological analysis just anecdotal tales from a few hippies and "holistic" believers and I'm sorry that is just a false narrative. No one on a Benzo is weaker for taking it nor looking for a buzz, just balance.

Does a very poor job of distinguishing between

Does a very poor job of distinguishing between life-saving SSRIs meant to be taken long-term and spot treatment Benzos that are overprescribed without talk therapy treatment and are abused because, unlike SSRIs, they make you high. They literally--in the middle of a discussion about the dangers of Benzos--have a doctor discussing Zoloft and Paxil. Because the documentary focuses solely on Benzos and fails to discuss how they are distinct from SSRIs, I think this documentary will ultimately have the effect of stigmatizing the use of the kinds of life-saving drugs that are primarily prescribed responsibly and in conjunction with regular talk therapy.

As "Take Your Pills: Xanax" (2022 release; 90

As "Take Your Pills: Xanax" (2022 release; 90 min) opens, we are reminded that prescriptions for Xanax have exploded the last 20-25 years. Why are so many Americans anxious and filled with dread and fear? Many talking heads are interviewed, including in the medical field as well as past and present users. One of them is Scott Stossel, author of "My Age of Anxiety". At this point we are 10 minutes into the documentary. Couple of comments: this is the latest from producer-director Blair Foster ("The Clinton Affair"). Here she reassesses the rise and rise of Xanax. As an occasional user of Xanax myself (more on that in a minute), I saw a lot of recognition points throughout the movie. One of the women doctors interviewed sums it up this way: "Xanax is meant for short term. It is prescribed too often and too long." Bottom line: much of what I heard and saw in this movie feels on point and resonated with me. As for my own experience with Xanax: as I got older, I developed an irrational (but very real) fear of flying, to the point that I stopped flying altogether. That was a real problem, and about 5 years ago, my doctor prescribed Xanax to me. I have to tell you: it's been a life changer for me. It works like magic, and I can now travel again. I never use Xanax for any other situation, and I am frankly puzzled how one could function on a day-to-day basis when taking Xanax literally every single day. But to each their own. My personal experience with Xanax could not have gone any better, and I will never get on a plane again without it. "Take Your Pills: Xanax" premiered in early December on Netflix, and I stumbled on it as I was browsing the latest additions on Netflix. When I saw the title, my interest was piqued immediately. Is this a revolutionary documentary? It is not, but for me it was well worth checking out, and it definitely feels on point for me. Of course don't take my word for it., so I'd readily suggest you check it out, and draw your own conclusion.
