When withdrawal is the hardest part (sure as heck was for me)

Benzodiazepines are the most recognized psych drugs to have serious adverse withdrawal issues and still people are harmed in the tens of thousands. SSRIs and other antidepressants and neuroleptics and "mood stabilizers" all have potentially very serious issues as well but it's less recognized.
