Anxious? Can’t Sleep? Benzodiazepines Might NOT Be The Answer
Benzodiazepines are often prescribed for anxiety, and sometimes to help insomnia or sleep problems. They’re sedatives.

And if they’re taken together with painkillers (especially opioids), they can be deadly.
The infographic below gives some statistics on addiction and death rates, as well as withdrawal symptoms so that you can recognise them.
If someone you care about becomes addicted to benzodiazepines, they shouldn’t just stop. You need to decrease the dose gradually, over time, to give the body time to re-adjust.
