One of my aunts was on a benzo for several months for anxiety issues. She accidentally got dependent on them and it took her a year to slowly wean off them. She said the withdrawal side effects were hellish.

These drugs should be outlawed. They really mess up your brain chemistry and the window for dependency is very small - a matter of weeks. Going cold turkey off them can literally kill you. That should be enough for people to steer clear of them but most folks don't know how dangerous and addictive they are and a lot of doctors don't either. But the companies making them do. . .

As I understand it users build tolerance to these.

A better alternative most definitely is CBD oil for anxiety and for those wishing to get a good nights sleep.

No need to take these pills any more
