What Are Benzodiazepines?

Benzodiazepines are a type of prescription medication commonly prescribed to treat anxiety disorders, insomnia, seizures, and certain other medical conditions. They work by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which helps to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. While benzodiazepines can be effective for short-term use under proper medical supervision, there is a potential risk for addiction and dependence if they are used improperly or for an extended period. Benzodiazepines have a high risk of abuse with greater chances of overdose and death when combined with other depressants. A treatment program can help individuals struggling with benzodiazepines abuse.

Signs of Benzodiazepine Addiction

Recognizing the signs of benzodiazepine addiction can be important in identifying and addressing the issue. It’s important to note that everyone’s experience with addiction can be different.

Common signs that may indicate a problem:

=

Taking Higher Doses or Using More Frequently

If an individual starts taking higher doses of benzodiazepines without medical supervision or begins using them more frequently than prescribed, it may be a sign of developing tolerance and dependence.
=

Loss of Control

A person with addiction may find it challenging to control their use of benzodiazepines. They may struggle to stick to prescribed dosages and may take the medication even when it is not medically necessary.
=

Cravings

Persistent and intense cravings for benzodiazepines, accompanied by a strong desire to use the medication, can indicate addiction. These cravings can be both physical and psychological.
=

Social and Occupational Impairment

Addiction to benzodiazepines can interfere with personal relationships, work or school performance, and social functioning. Persistent problems in these areas may be a warning sign.
=

Neglecting Responsibilities

Neglecting important personal or professional responsibilities and obligations due to benzodiazepine use can be an indicator of addiction. This may include failing to show up for work or school, neglecting household chores or bills, or avoiding social engagements.
