3d Structure

i've made a 3d spacefill for this image, along with many other benzos, as i'm trying to make spacefills for all of them. i don't want to replace the nice 3d ball and stick model. any ideas of where i could put it ? Ccroberts^{( t · c · g )} 01:14, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Why not add it to Benzodiazepine? The article is quite long, and has only one image, in the lead. By the way, the nice 3d ball-and-stick model is mine, and if you'd rather replace it instead I won't really object :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:30, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Really this bad?

Why is this entry almost all negative? There are many legitimate uses for Benzodiazepines, I'm a psych RN and am quite glad to have the minor tranquilizers to use on my floor. This drug like many if abused can have bad consequences, as it is I believe this article is quite biased.Bobyoung53 (talk) 14:40, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I am not trying to be rude, but you would have to go by to the 1960's or perhaps also the 1970's to say that benzos only have bad problems if abused. Minor tranquillisers is also a very old term and was replaced I think in the 1980's with the term sedative hypnotic as it was found to be an inaccurate term for the drugs pharmacological properties by expert bodies. The problems with therapeutic use long term have been widely accepted since the 1980's. Having said that if you think that there is undue weight to the negative aspects of bromazepam in this article, feel free to suggest how we can expand positive effects side of bromazepam to bring more balance. The drug is not commonly prescribed compared to other benzos so it is fairly short in nature and not indepth. I have looked over the article and cannot find anything inaccurate in it.--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 02:06, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Biased article

I AGREE WITH COMMENTS ABOVE, THIS ARTICLE IS BIASED. My apologies if not using the correct format for the talk page, I'm new to editing so please understand.

This article gives very little in the way of information on the helpful properties of this medication, or on benzos in general. Instead it launches almost directly into an attack on the drug, giving nothing but negative information. I'm not saying the information is inaccurate, I'm saying it's biased. The author also seems to have a problem with benzos in general, and in my opinion goes off on a tangent in comparing how bad ALL benzos are which is not even what the article should be about. Therefore in my opinion it should be flagged for edit based on biased source information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Levontaun (talk • contribs) 02:35, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Referenced study on learning impairment

Regarding the following citation:

Liljequist R; Linnoila M, Mattila MJ, Saario I, Seppälä T (October 1975). "Effect of two weeks' treatment with thioridazine, chlorpromazine, sulpiride and bromazepam, alone or in combination with alcohol, on learning and memory in man". Psychopharmacologia 44 (2): 205–8. doi:10.1007/BF00421011. PMID 710.

From what I read in the abstract, it appears to contradict what the article states: "Bromazepam 6 mg 3 times daily for 2 weeks taken alone impaired learning capacities significantly in humans in an experiment. In combination with alcohol the impairments of learning capacity became even more pronounced."

Furthermore, this citation is a primary source and perhaps should be removed completely, or at least noted clearly that more studies are required.
