Benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms

Benzodiazepine is prescription tranquilizers which depress the nervous system in a way similar to what alcohol would do. Benzodiazepine has found its way from pharmacies to drug dealers, and is being abused by young, healthy individuals who want to get high. These club-hopping, twenty-something, casual ``Xannie poppers'' are using the substance in combination with other stimulants, from alcohol to cocaine.

Generally, withdrawal symptoms from Benzodiazepine feel like the opposite of the therapeutic effects. Benzodiazepine withdrawal can produce especially severe withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms that are similar to those in alcohol withdrawal, include jittery, shaky feelings and any of the following:

  • rapid heartbeat
  • shaky hands
  • insomnia or disturbed sleep
  • sweating
  • irritability
  • anxiety and agitation


PS: If you have been using benzodiazepine for a long period of time do not discontinued the medication without medical advice and help.
