All long term benzodiazepine users in one inner London general practice were asked to participate in a study of their attitudes to their drugs. The 64 respondents had mixed views about benzodiazepines and did not conform to the stereotype presented in the media. Although 58% of the sample had attempted to stop taking benzodiazepines, this was usually not until at least one year of taking the drug. At the time of interview, 50% of the sample expressed a desire to stop taking their tablets. However, the majority were uncertain whether their general practitioner wished them to continue taking the drugs or not. It is argued that users' views of their medication must be taken into account in the debate about tranquillizer dependence.
伦敦市中心一家普通诊所里，所有长期服用苯二氮䓬类药物的患者都被邀请参与一项关于他们对所服药物态度的研究。64名受访者对苯二氮䓬类药物看法不一，并不符合媒体所呈现的刻板印象。尽管58%的样本曾试图停止服用苯二氮䓬类药物，但通常至少要在服药一年之后才会尝试。在接受采访时，50%的样本表示希望停止服药。然而，大多数人不确定他们的全科医生是否希望他们继续服药。有人认为，在关于镇静剂依赖的辩论中，必须考虑使用者对其药物治疗的看法。
