Terrible anxiety about going on antidepressants
I have been prescribed to
benzodiazepines
for about a year at a low(ish) dose and it has been a fantastic tool to help overcome my anxiety and panic attacks and learn healthy coping mechanisms with a less-clouded mind.

Anxiety
No meds have really helped besides
benzodiazepines
and my doctor won't give them to me anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions for natural things that work?

Second episode olanzapine resistance
I am so scared as the medication isn’t working and the
benzodiazepines
are not really calming her much. She is I a near constant state of mania and distress . Can I ask if anyone else has experienced olanzapine resistance in a second or subsequent episode?

Give your views: UK Public consultation on Painkillers
But it said that paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen,
benzodiazepines
or opioids should not be offered because there was little or no evidence that they made any difference to people’s quality of life, pain or psychological distress.

Stress
It drove me to a breakdown about 13 years ago; that’s when I became exposed to
benzodiazepines
. I’ve been off them for 12 years, but I think it’s left my nervous system ultra sensitive. The withdrawal was horrendous and protracted. I’ve never been the same since.

Back to benzos?
Years ago I stopped taking
benzodiazepines
because of the irritability it caused when it was time for my next dose, years later after anxiety getting in the way of life and work I'm asking myself Is it worth being addicted to
benzodiazepines
if it makes me feel like myself?

Hi guys, So I see a lot of people say
Benzodiazepines
, like Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, etc, are dangerous, especially in comments on here. I would like to know why?

I’m in recovery and
benzodiazepines
aren’t an option for me . I just started lexapro a couple days ago . If anyone has any experience to share with the best advice on coping and managing anxiety I’d love to hear it.

Panic and anxiety help for a friend
I have read that CBD negativity impacts the effectiveness of
Benzodiazepines
. If her experience is similar to you, please respond. I am doing my best to help her. Her prescribing psychiatricist is abrasive and I am trying to get her back to her therapist.

New FND research on neuro chemicals...it’s not in our heads. There is a basis & future treatment hopefully to follow...
Three case patients were taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and four were taking
benzodiazepines
, which they stopped taking 5 days before undergoing MRS.

I need to say goodbye to my friend, “Goodbye Keith and warn you all about opiate painkillers.”
Also
benzodiazepines
such as Diazepam, Amitriptyline, temazepam are all highly addictive as well. Doctors hand these things out like sweets but never warn you of the risks and they will provide repeat prescriptions without checking if you are coping ok.

Finally, relief!
It belongs to a class of medications called
benzodiazepines
which act on the brain and nerves (central nervous system) to produce a calming effect. It works by enhancing the effects of a certain natural chemical in the body (GABA). I'm on the lowest dose and I just take one half.

Having copper IUD today - can't take any painkillers
I also suffered a two year protracted withdrawal from 'legal high'
benzodiazepines
, and any and I mean ANY medications can rev up these withdrawal symptoms too, making me very ill and bedridden for several days, which is not something I need or want right now, I am trying to rebuild my life.
