Having had a run in with psychiatrists recently trying to help someone. They avoid me like the plague! Why?

Google

Royal College of Psychiatrists -- zopiclone or benzodiazipines.

Look at the box just above where it says managing withdrawal. Yet they are ignoring it.

People are being withdrawn far too quickly

I will post a link to a website that is very helpful and with proffesionals
