"The
Scary Truth About Anxiety Medications
That Doctors Neglect to Tell You..."
Taking
medications for chronic anxety and panic may work for some, but
for a lot of people it can cause all kinds of problems! Before
you even consider taking medications (If you choose) you should
be very careful!
In many
cases, doctors will prescribe drugs such as benzodiazepines to
help "calm" you down. Did you know that many people get hooked
on these types of medications and their brain actually "craves"
it if they ever stop? Scary isn't it. That is just the beginning.
Many
people have taken "benzos" for years because they simply CAN'T
GET OFF THEM!
Many have tried and end up going through life-threating withdrawal
symptoms such as seizures, etc.
Don't believe me?
Take
a look at this EYE OPENING information...
| "When
an individual becomes physically dependent on painkillers
or benzodiazepines, they should not just suddenly stop taking
them. Stopping suddenly can cause
seizures and possibly even death. The risk of a seizure is
actually quite high. Dependency might be dealt
with by tapering off the medication. Some people have been
successful using this approach. Addicts have often found tapering
to be unsuccessful because their addiction is both physical
as well as psychological. If tapering is done inpatient, it
has more of a chance of success.
Withdrawal
symptoms can be, and often are, difficult. Benzodiazepines,
for example, are stored in the tissues and fat cells. Getting
the drug out of your bloodstream can take a long time. Drugs
that go through the digestive tract are more quickly excreted.
Even
when someone detoxes inpatient, the symptoms often feel
unbearable.
While the acute withdrawal symptoms generally last a couple
of weeks, the prolonged withdrawal, called Post Acute Withdrawal
Syndrome (PAWS) lingers. These symptoms have been known
to last a year or longer."

PIXIE'S
STORY
"Four Years After Klonopin and Still Battling"
"I
got myself off the Klonopin and all other drugs, but never
fully recovered from the physical symptoms the benzodiazepine
withdrawal caused. For over 4 years I have lived
with ringing in my ears, muscle pain and weakness, burning
feet, sensitivity to light, noise, and scents, inability
to focus my eyes, clogged feeling in my ears, extreme fatigue,
memory loss, tingling in my hands and arms, weakness in
my left arm and more.
The
sad thing is I could deal with all of this if my worst symptom
would go away. My worst symptom is a loss of cognitive abilities.
I feel drugged all the time. It's like I am in a dream 24
hours a day. I do not perceive my environment clearly."
