34. Benzodiazepines. Everything you don't know but should.

In September 2020, the FDA announced a benzodiazepine boxed warning. Drugs commonly known as: Valium®, Xanax®, Halcion®, Ativan®, and Klonopin® now include the risks of: abuse, addiction, physical dependence and withdrawal reaction. 

The warning is only the first step, because many problems have not been addressed. Especially the harmed patients that have been prescribed off-label and without proper informed consent.

If you or someone you care about is currently taking benzodiazepines please visit the Benzodiazepine Information Coalition. Their mission is to educate about the potential adverse effects of benzodiazepines as prescribed

On today’s podcast we discuss benzodiazepines.
