What is Benzodiazepine?
Benzodiazepines belong to a class of psychoactive drugs mainly used in the treatment of anxiety, insomnia, muscle spasms, and seizures. Their mechanism involves amplifying the effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter in the brain. This heightened effect of GABA induces a calming effect and reduces excessive activity in the nervous system.
Benzodiazepines are widely prescribed and available under various brand names, like diazepam (Valium), alprazolam (Xanax), lorazepam (Ativan), clonazepam (Klonopin), and temazepam (Restoril). These medications do effectively manage anxiety, insomnia, and other conditions when used as prescribed, but they also carry the risk of habit formation and addiction if used for a long time or in excessive amounts.

Recognizing the signs of benzodiazepine addiction is crucial in seeking timely help and preventing further complications. Here are some common indicators to watch out for:
