Benzodiazepines like Xanax, Klonipin, Ambien, and Ativan are often times hailed as the miracle drug for anxiety and depression, but what if these miracle drugs were slowly killing you and making your symptoms worse? Well that is exactly what is happening. Jeff Lukas, Executive Director of Narconon Louisiana a long term, inpatient drug rehab explains, “The last few years have seen a huge influx of people admitting themselves into drug rehabs for an addiction to benzos. While most drugs take five to ten days to get out of the system, people who have been taking benzos usually take over a month to finally stop feeling the withdrawal symptoms.”
Withdrawal symptoms from benzos include; vibration-like feeling in the body, bone aches, severe insomnia, anxiety, depression, and headaches.
