I'm thinking of talking to my dr. About benzodiazapan, I want a heads up on which one is the most addictive. ## Your body will eventually get used to any medication you take regularly, even if you don't abuse them, and a sudden cessation may result in withdrawal symptoms. As to Benzodiazepines, they can all be habit forming and usually require a slow taper, when someone stops taking them. What you really need to do is discuss your issues with your doctor, so they can help you decide what would be your best treatment option. You can learn more about Benzodiazepines and the ones that are available here: Is there anything else I can help with? ## If you don't have to start Benzo don't. I am currently withdrawing from valium only 5 mg a day. It is extremely uncomfortable. Wo...

How long is it taking everyone to regain cognitive function after withdrawing from prescription benzodiazepines such as Valium and Clonazepam? It took me 2 years after I stopped taking clonazepam to have the neurotransmitters reconnect, to the point where I could problem solve again. (I am still not back to 100% brain function, as I am on Lyrica and that is causing horrible memory problems and a feeling of being emotionally disconnected). There is a great feed on this site on Lyrica and memory problems. The benzodiazepines even affected my eating habits, as I was a vegetarian for 30 years, and on clonazepam for nerve pain, I no longer could stand vegetables. This was better than the Valium...as I could not eat anything on that medication, and all I wanted to do was throw up if I smelled...

I am a 50+ y/o man who has had enough problems to where they are so overwhelming I have come close to losing my job and am now filing for short term disability. I need to find a doctor who does not mind to prescribe some benzodiazepines so I can level out just a little bit. Anywhere near Lawrence or Olathe kansas would be great if anybody knows a psychiatrist for me. Or anywhere in Kansas would have to work if these are not available. Please help me ## HI Bradley, I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. Unfortunately, no one can really know ahead of time what a psychiatrist/doctor is or is not willing to prescribe, as that is based solely on their discretion and not on someone else's previous appointment. Some advice I can give you is to not specifically ask for a...

Want to know the differece between alprazolene and benzodiazapine ## I think you may be misunderstanding the specifics, so I'll clear this up for you. :-) Benzodiazepines are a class of medications and there are quite a few of them available by prescription on the U.S. drug market. Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine, they are commonly used to treat conditions such as anxiety and nervous disorders. Learn more Alprazolam details here. These medications have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

Could any one tell me if there is a law that says a Dr. Cannot prescribe suboxine and benzodiazapines ## Hello, Mary! How are you? No, there is not. There are directives that were issued by the DEA telling them to be very careful, when doing so and some doctors treating for addiction with Suboxone just don't want to prescribe it, but there is no law saying they definitively can't prescribe them together. In the past on here, I had erroneously used the term regulation, when referring to the directives from the DEA, but that really wasn't the correct term. These things aren't set as law, just suggestions for the doctors, to tell try to help stem the flow of abuse, diversion and improper prescribing. Some doctors also prefer that the patient see an appropriate specialist fo...

Its a benzodiazapine ## Adinazolam is actually a benzodiazepine derivative, it's actual classification is triazolobenzodiazepine and it is generally used for its sedative like effects and to treat anxiety. Side effects are similar to other benzodiazepine derivative medications and may include nausea, dizziness, headache and somnolence. It also has the potential to be habit forming. It has never been FDA approved and isn't publicly available for use in most countries, so I don't even have a link to include here. Are there any questions? I'll gladly research more information for anyone seeking.

If Xanax and Ativan are both benzodiazapines, why did the Ativan work to relieve anxiety without causing depression but the Xanax didn't? ## It really depends on the person and how your body reacts to it. Just as an example, I'm fine with a low dose .5mg of Ativan, but if I take anything higher it makes me depressed and I feel very groggy for several days afterwards. However, there are other people that use it just fine without any problems. You really just have to figure out what works for you. Are there any other questions or comments? ## Thank you for the information. It was helpful. How long have you taken Ativan? I also experienced the mild depression when I took a bit extra. I hate drugs and don't have an addictive nature. However, I am a little afraid of getting off a...

You mean KlonoPin. Klonopin is a benzodiazapine used for seizure control and panic attaks. It is frquently prescibed for severe anxiety due to a very long half life as opposed to Xanax and Valium. It is also the strongest benzodiazapine mg for mg. Hope this helps!! ## Klonopin is the brand name, the active ingredient is actually Clonazepam. Learn more Klonopin details here. It's most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders, it isn't as good at treating seizures, though it may be used if someone is resistant to other medications. Are there any questions or comments? ## I really liked the Teva generic of Klonopin but hard to find now. Wish I could get off it. Works but don't want to take it. Takes months th taper off.

for what purpose this drug is used and what are the side effects. ## Librium is a strong sedative in the benzodiazapine family of drugs. Uses incise anxiety, but it it's used to treat the more intense and dangerous symptoms ( as well as prevent them... i.e.- seizures, tremors, 'D Ts'', things like that ). Still, there are plenty of doctors who have plenty of other uses for ur probably including severe insomnia, severe anxiety and paddoc disorders, and possibly for some convulsant and mild seizure disorders where the patient would stop convulsing and have no further episodes of it as son add the medication takes effect, and for ass long add it lasts. not sure how long it stats effective in the system. Ativan and xanex pack a decent punch but last an hot or two for ativan ...

Besides painful scary withdrawal say goodbye to your hair when trying to taper clonazepam or any other benzodiazapine. After taking this a few years it actually added anxiety and problems. People think it works well for them, but just you wait, it turns on you when you least expect it and it is the most painful and fearful thing to go through. Doctors do not knwo how to handle the taper and end up adding more drugs that actually make things worse. Suddenly you find yourself living to avoid all the pain and the physical problems like nerve pain while trying to taper. ## Hello Kate! How are you doing? I'm very sorry about what you're going through. It is normal for your body to get used to any medication that you've been taking for a long period of time and for it to stop work...

I have terrible anxiety and panic attacks. this has been going on since i was 8 years old. I have been on variouse meds, almost all benzodiazapines and i find that xanax works best for me. ## Any licensed Medical doctor can prescribe Xanax. There are some States that do not allow the M.D to prescribe this medication and will refer you to a Psychiatrist. However your medical records should help you when you find your new doc! ## I had westnill a couple years ago and it messed up my nervis system and I have anxiety so bad but the dr won't help me xanax works the best

Any mood altering meds should be tapered off slowly. Talk to your doctor to see how you should slowly adjust your dosage. Check your meds to see if they are benzodiazapines, like Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, Clonazapam etc (they have different names for the brand vs the generic, so check your meds to see what types they are.) They drugs can be addictive and do cause serious withdrawal symptoms. I had seizures when I quit Xanax cold turkey. I am now on Ativan, but a low dose that I only take when I REALLY need it to help with panic attacks and panic related sleeplessness. The more you take these meds, the less they work and the more problems they cause when you stop taking them. I used to only sleep an hour or so a night despite the sleeping pills I was on and the xanax. If you can get on an...

Does anyone know where one could obtain glutethimide or it's brand name Doriden (CIBA Company)? Am in Canada where Doriden was discontinued in late 1980s and I was told Doriden discontinue was international. Perhaps there is now a generic form containing glutethimide available now as I would assume CIBA trademark rights would have by now expired. As the benzodiazapine replacement meds for Doriden are more addictive and dangerous (especially if mixing with alcohol & other drugs) it sure would be great to be able to go back to Doriden or glutethimide which were more effective and safer. A shame that the public was switched over to benzodiazipines (i.e. lorazapam, diazapam) when a better/safer product was available all in the name of profits and economics. Any help out there is mos...
