PETITION - Please get
behind this important piece of work.
We are pleased to announce a formal benzo petition is now on the docket of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is open for public comment from everyone (not just US citizens). These changes have the potential to impact benzo prescribing worldwide. Public comments WILL affect how the FDA rules on our requests--this is your chance to be heard. Please make the FDA aware of how benzodiazepine withdrawal has impacted your life. To read the petition click here - scroll down to 'Views' and click on the pdf image next to it. To comment on the petition click here To get fuller information, instructions, a summary of the petition and a sample comment click here Please encourage family, friends, and others who care about this issue to comment. Feel free to spread the word and this link--the more public comments the better. The FDA will rule within six months on our requests, but we don’t know for sure when they will close the comment period. We deeply appreciate you making the effort to have your voice heard on this issue with a timely response. We hope with everyone's help there will soon be some much needed change in benzodiazepine drug labeling. Emily, Shirley, and Anthea PS: In order to track how many responses the FDA gets, we would appreciate you sending a quick email to: benzo_action@yahoo.com after voicing your support of this petition
SURVEYS - I am collecting statistical information
from people who are taking benzodiazepines or are or have withdrawn from them.
If this is you please help with this project and complete a survey. There is
very little good information around about benzodiazepines or withdrawal and it
is hoped that this project with go towards addressing this issue.
POLLS - This is a new section on this website. It is
mainly for fun but it does answer some of those questions we all ask as we
taper off these drugs.
