The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Um, blephin is one of the safest to use. It is not habit forming like the somas. Yep. And others that can be uh like a barbbiturate can act and people can get highly psychologically dependent on them.
So, what what are your experience with muscle relaxants? Blephin's one of the safest to use. It is not habit forming like the som. Yep. And people can get highly psychologically dependent on them. The flexerils have a triccyclic anti-depressant property about them that may sometimes be helpful for people in various mixed pain states but also can cause sedation. Y the blephin seems to be pretty benign. Um we don't typically use muscle relaxants for longterm chronic conditions. The data hasn't borne out. Now with that said So how many days are you comfortable with a person? Oh, I'm I'm comfortable with a person being on back all their life to be. Okay. Yeah. It's just everything I'm doing is taken in the context of the person in front of me and the cost and benefit of the treatments I'm providing them. Meaning there are costs with Backton. I don't mean monetary cost. It can cost sedation. But I'm always evaluating long-term. Is this person getting benefit from this? Should we be talking about dialing it back and trying to wean? And if they're not getting benefit, then why should they stay on the medication? What dose are you comfortable? Up to 20 milligrams three times a day. Yeah, up to 80 milligrams, I believe, is kind of the upper end. I don't usually get there.
