Journalists should research before publishing. The clonazepam found in Liam Payne's room is not "highly addictive." It's rarely misused. Report facts, not outdated addiction myths. @Independent @Rebeccasmt

Great step to see the Royal Australian College of General Practice @RACGP endorse the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines as a resource for their members. Hope for it to flow through education and that other Colleges around the world do the same bit.ly/3YmC1jv

One of the most difficult parts of my tapering journey has been the lack of support. Not being heard, believed and my profound suffering validated. Not just from doctors but from some family and friends. This led to isolation and a vulnerability I find difficult to articulate.

"There’s no doubt greater oversight of the prescribing of benzos is needed. However, this cannot happen without addressing the obvious gaps in knowledge and understanding about benzodiazepines, on the part of prescribers." bit.ly/3I5VQlO

As @RACGP alcohol and other drugs spokesperson Hester Wilson told @Medicalrepublic direct access to opioid dependency treatments for GPs and other non-PBS providers has been extended until June 2024. This is great news, now we need a long-term fix. #AOD medicalrepublic.com.au/more-time-for-…

Sometimes, something as simple as starting a conversation about overdose with those around you can be liberating, enlightening n potentially life-changing. With just 2days to go til #IOAD2023, we encourage you to have a conversation about overdose with someone in your life.🧵1/n

Global impact alert! 🌍💔 Benzodiazepines and Z-drug damage is not limited to the U.S. They played a significant role in 4 out of the top 9 medication serious adverse events reported in Australia between 2004 and 2017.
