Do you have benzo questions? Well, we’re here to help. Whether they’re questions about benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, withdrawal symptoms, the podcast, updosing, polydrugging, and more — our rapid-fire Q&A will attempt to provide some answers.

In today’s episode, we return to the popular rapid-fire Q&A format for our feature. We also hear two short benzo stories from England and Denmark, talk about some positive effects of the current pandemic, and close out with a traditional breathing meditation to ease you back into your day.
