I think it's a Cost/Benefit analysis that they use when prescribing benzos.
OK, so there's a risk you may get addicted, but if being addicted is better than what you'd be like if you weren't taking the benzos then that's why they prescribe them.
Take heart. I was on diazepam for nearly 8 years - taking upto 50mg a day, and I managed to come off it no problem.
I take it and lorazepam as prn nowadays.
