Hi Eric,   It is my understanding that Medicare will become the main prescription coverage for meds, and they are dropping all coverage for meds in the Benzodiazepines (Systemic) family.  Medicare says that this family of drugs is being over prescribed by doctors for mood relaxers, so they are not

Hi Bill,   Librium is in the Benzodiazepine family too.  http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/drug-information/DR202084   I can't understand why Medicare would cut a whole class of drugs because the doctors are over prescribing them.  That seems to hurt the ones that really need the drugs from that cl
