Benzodiazepine Videos
"The Benzodiazepine drug group held high hopes of therapeutic value when first introduced, 50 years ago."
"These drugs have a wide range of actions:
Hypnotic, anxiolytic, muscle relaxant,anticonvulsant."These drugs were dispensed and over-prescribed regularly and often long term, for insomnia, anxiety and depression, exam nerves, menstrual pain, tinnitus, sports injuries, backache, postviral fatigue, bereavements and ordinary life stresses...and that's only mentioning a few...
"In the 1970's Valium (diazepam) became the most widely prescribed of all drugs in the world."
(Dr heather Ashton - from her video (below).
Valium ...commonly known as "mommy's little helper" in the 1970's , became overprescribed because of it's low toxicity and ALLEGED lack of dependence.. however, in the early 1980's the first backlash came from long-term users who were trying to quit using the drug...realising that over time the drugs lost their efficacy, but that they were highly addictive.
Withdrawal effects from abrupt withdrawal range from panic attacks to psychosis and convulsions.
