Benzodiazepines are a group of medications designed to slow down or depress the central nervous system. Benzodiazepines are used as sedatives, for insomnia, to treat anxiety and seizure disorders. The benzodiazepine medication binds to GABA receptors in the brain. Over time, people can become dependent on benzodiazepines mentally and physically. Benzodiazepines include Valium (diazepam), Ativan (Lorazepam), Xanax (alprazolam), and Klonopin (clonazepam).
Benzodiazepines can cause some of the following side effects:
Memory problems
Impaired cognitive function
Dizziness
Depression
Sexual dysfunction
Urinary problems
Addiction
Sleep disturbance
Sexual Dysfunction
Decreased energy
Difficulty breathing
Rapid or slow pulse
Benzodiazepine cessation should be done under a physician’s care as stopping them abruptly without a plan can put someone into seizures which can be life threatening.
