Well, i was young and naive about the benzos and the docs kept prescribing, i kept taking. I've never fooled with duster. I do take these seriously trying to get my dose down or non existent under a DOCTOR'S care.
Im not not downing your friend about the duster. Psychological help in America and most places is awful. My experience is they made me feel worse than all the years of trauma so i stopped and gave up . And took meds instead. Running and exercise has also helped me. Im very sorry about your friend. I've lost very young friends. I know the feeling. {Hug}
