Bisasaja.com - Anxiety disorders such as social phobia and panic disorder can be treated with many medications. One such class of these drugs is benzodiazepines, known as benzodiazepines in shorts. It is important to understand how your medicine works, regardless of your medical condition. This will help you  control  your treatment and your life. Therefore, if you have anxiety disorders, it is important to understand how benzodiazepines work so that you can make the best medical decisions for yourself. 

 Benzodiazepines are considered a very mild tranquilizer. The quality of benzodiazepines used to describe these medications includes hypnotics, sedatives, anxiolytics, muscle relaxants, and memory loss medications. In short, they work by slowing down your central nervous system. Benzodiazepines can be used for a variety of symptoms, as well as anxiety such as insomnia, seizures, muscle spasms and alcohol withdrawal. Dentists also sometimes use benzodiazepines in their work. People who abuse stimulants like speed may also abuse benzodiazepines to get out of highs. Common medications classified as benzodiazepines include Xanax, Barium, Serax, Rohypnol, Halcyon, Librium, Mogadon, and Ativan. 

 There are many side effects to consider when considering the use of benzodiazepines in the treatment of anxiety disorders. First of all, some benzodiazepines are very addictive. Some report no feelings of addiction, while others report complete addiction in just a few days. This depends on the strength of the medicine you are using and your body's specific response to it. Other side effects include drowsiness, ataxia, confusion, imbalance, impaired judgment, and oblivion. Some benzodiazepines are more potent than others and all have drug-specific side effects to consider. Dependence or addiction to benzodiazepines can make withdrawal with symptoms such as  insomnia, panic attacks, high blood pressure, tremors, depression, sweating, loss of appetite, and dysphoria. Sudden withdrawal can cause immediate seizures, catatonia, delusions, psychosis, and delirium tremens. The end result can be deadly. 

 Only patients with anxiety disorders prescribed and strictly directed by a doctor should take benzodiazepines. If left unchecked, the use of these medicines can be very harmful (like most prescription drugs). Benzodiazepines may  help you regain control during a panic attack or in daily life. In fact, many patients with anxiety disorders have had great success with this type of drug. However, benzodiazepines also have their drawbacks. Make sure  you fully understand how to use benzodiazepines and how benzodiazepines affect your body before taking them.
