Do you have a source for this "common knowledge"? I've seen plenty of people on methadone do just fine with benzos, especially if they take prescribed doses. I'm not so sure this isn't some bullshit pushed by doctors without evidence so that they have an excuse to stop treating their patients and leave them without benzos in a state where they are forced to either go to the black market or potentially withdraw and die. I've seen a lot of this from doctors as regards to methadone patients, trying to take people who have been on benzos for years or decades off without proper tapering and without a proper reason. It's almost as if they think of methadone patients as less than human, creatures whose lives are not of value. Wait, not almost. Whatever happened to the hippocratic oath?
