Omg it's been a huge problem for atleast 15 years now, I knew people even 20 years back that abused them. However 20 years ago, even 15 years ago no one knew they were addictive. Atleast most people did not know, not only are they addictive but you can actually die from the withdrawals. Also most of the time , depending on the quantity and length of someone's use the withdrawals are usually 20 times worse than opiates.

This is mostly all very untrue. It is terrifying this effort to eliminate good medication. I suffer from debilitating anxiety attacks that last for months, benzodiazepines especially clonazepam have been life saving for me. Ive been taking it on and off for months at a time, the last few years, never had to increase the dose and always relieves anxiety to get me through horrible episodes. I had difficult deployments from my time in the military, and am thankful I can have somewhat a normal life. Ive done years of therapy, hypnosis, CBT, and others that have been helpful however medication has been the only succesful option to get through the attacks. I appreciate all of the concern but there are no other medications with our current technology to replace them. There has been work recently with psilocybin and even targeted lobotomy ( gamma ray encapsulation) but these options are years from being available. Please remember the people who use these medications to stay alive, thank you

I was on a Benzo for 22 years. One day the doctor said we are not doing this anymore. She claimed it was bad for my kidneys. Other doctors said they are addictive. They were not addictive. Had no problem getting off. The problem was the anxiety attacks started and my doctors refused to put me back on. Found a new doctor. These doctors are stopping to prescribe it because of the opate crisis. Opiate and benzos are deadly. But if you are not an opiate addict you should be able to get a unit-anziety med... And I don't mean the anti-histamines (just makes you drowsy) the hospital gave me or the sleeping pills for nighttime. The doctors don't want to be responsible if someone comes into the hospital and they give you some kind of opaite not know if you are on anti - anxiety meds. So it's ok for patients to suffer.

Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘💌🙏✝️👣🗞️ How blessed are the feet of those who come bearing the good news of the gospel. I pray for healing from anxiety. I pray for healing from overdoses. I pray for Gods power over destructive tendencies toward ourselves. Do not be anxious about anything but by prayer and supplication, making our requests known unto God. Our journeys and walks with God are as we go. He came to set the captives free. Is the Christian’s walk difficult yes. Is the persecution hard and difficult yes. I pray that we overcome in the earth according to Gods will and plan and purposes for our lives. Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. Make sure thy friend. God is our friend. We overcome by the blood of the lamb and the words of our testimonies. Amen 🙏 Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your lord and personal saviour??? I do. Thank you Lord for deliverances. Amen 🙏 😊

There are people that need it. I take mine correctly. I can’t stand to be myself cause of the way I feel with my anxiety. When I have my real bad attacks. That’s when I take it,I haven’t overdosed cause I take it like my dr tells me to.

@loriloy7842
@

This ruins it for people who actually need it and take the meds right. It’s not the med itself that overdoses people. It’s when they don’t take it the way they’re supposed to..

@loriloy7842

This is why your not supposed to be just tooken straight off. You have to be winged off.

Came of that med after 20 year nooooo problem at all. The anxiety = the problem !!!!! It does not go. I had my daughter with me loving me, so i was fine. The worry of the anxiety still coming when i spoke to any crowd was an impossibility like zero brain shaking vocals body lockup to not rivet shake crazily...😂 it's funny to say but is a real horror to see.

"No more than 2-4 weeks" - Try 8 days on Ativan and ending up in acute w/d in the ER and on year 4 of a third reinstated taper and a shattered life. I would do anything to go back and try something pill free. Yes I was having chronic panic attacks for a week after an acupuncture treatment, but who knows what would have happened if I waited it out, got through the healing crisis reaction and tried CBD and de-stressing techniques and ate better food, and got out of the stressful environment I was in first. I'd give anything to go back to that time even if I was pretty miserable and I wish the doctor told me no when I asked for emergency benzos.
