Study Finds Xanax, Valium Associated With Brain Injury, Suicide by Tyler Durden Saturday, Jul 01, 2023 - 12:00 PM
About 30 million Americans are taking benzodiazepines like Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin- about 12.5% of the adult population. Doctors and psychiatrists have prescribed these drugs for decades to treat anxiety. But a new study reveals "benzodiazepine usage and discontinuing usage" can create "nervous system injury and negative life effects."
Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus said as patients enter the discontinuation phase of Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin, they face significant withdrawal symptoms.
"Despite the fact that benzodiazepines have been widely prescribed for decades, this survey presents significant new evidence that a subset of patients experiences long-term neurological complications," said Alexis Ritvo, M.D, M.P.H., an assistant professor in psychiatry at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and medical director of the nonprofit Alliance for Benzodiazepine Best Practices. She said the medical community must reevaluate how it prescribes benzodiazepines.
The study was a collaborative effort between CU Anschutz, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and several drug advocacy that specializes in raising awareness of benzodiazepine harms.
"Patients have been reporting long-term effects from benzodiazepines for over 60 years. I am one of those patients. Even though I took my medication as prescribed, I still experience symptoms on a daily basis at four years off benzodiazepines. Our survey and the new term BIND (benzodiazepine-induced neurological dysfunction) give a voice to the patient experience and point to the need for further investigations," said Christy Huff, MD, one of the paper's coauthors and a cardiologist and director of Benzodiazepine Information Coalition.
About 76.6% of the respondents had long-lasting symptoms after discounting the use of benzodiazepines. Almost half of the respondents had these ten symptoms for more than a year:
low energy difficulty focusing memory loss anxiety insomnia sensitivity to light and sounds digestive problems symptoms triggered by food and drink muscle weakness body pain
The most alarming part of the study was the symptoms listed above were new and distinct and weren't experienced before respondents used Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin. Many respondents reported damaged relationships, job loss, and increased medical costs. Also, 54.4% of the respondents reported suicidal thoughts or attempted suicide.
But don't worry because doctors and the government tell us benzodiazepines are safe, just like they said OxyContin wasn't addictive in the 1990s.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc. (Latin: 'after this, therefore because of this')
All of the conditions listed are symptomatic of anxiety attacks in neurotics, imhblo.
While I am not a pill nazi, per se, what most need is a harmless outlet.

Well, I am still alive, lol. To people on here that, he died on taking benzo's, most of the time with alcohol and it finally caught up with him and he is dead. Over decades or more.
Don't breathe the air as it is no longer available to breathe in the outside world. He lived life and realized that having kids and a wife was a total waste of time. All his drug us which included psychedelics had him come to this conclusion he wanted in his obituary.
He lived a happy and fulfilled life. May he rest in peace with his almost clear conscience.
On his gravestone. "people fear all the wrong things". That would be mine. I like another one about a guy that was a drunkard and womanizer and then one guy picked up one book of his which he could of given a shit less and just fucked more women and drank and lived to like 70 or something.
On his gravestone he had them put, "stop trying". His life lesson. Not in a self destructive way but I want this to happen for me and that to happen for me. Stop trying it will in time for all but life comes easier when you don't try to force it.
Will see my psychatrist, big surprise to many that hate me on here, I take it so personal like I am back in High School, and next three months of Clonazapam and Zolpidem. I don't give a shit and I am not some 600 pound woman saying fat is beautiful and healthy.
Don't over do it. Moderation in all things and heroic doses just no, been through it and was praying to earth mother and kneeling on the ground and the earth/world/Gaia was in a lot of pain, which it is being destroyed but I tuned into the nerve center of the earth on shrooms and ectasy.
Not worried about benzo, like the least thing in the world I am worried about at this time.
"BARNABY died a week later." Lol. Picture a voice joke Morgan Freeman telling the story. Like those Fent ones of, it was never his/her fault, they thought they were just taking a perc or oxy.
That shit, just say no. Nancy Reagan was right. Just say no to fent! WHEW!

Not surprising at all. There has been data building up about long term benzo use showing the potential for cognitive damage. Benzo's work great, but need to be kept short term unless it is something life or death levels of anxiety.

And the stats for anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications.
Federal Death Administration Cartel, I mean legalized corps? They don't give benzos to kids or whatever shit you want to throw in there that they do or to teens.
Took me forever to get actually got me to be sociable and go to a dinery with a family member or friend or just matinee movies, most don't get it and never will.
Let us get you started on your journey. She is fit and a nutritionist as well let alone her knowledge in DMT, LSD, Benzo's (brain damage), meth, cocaine, heroin before fent, marijuana, cigs, cigars, hard liqour, beer, wine, and the epitome of all knowledge.
And yeah, done them all. K-pins work for me, cue brain damage song by Syd of the Floyd and LSD. I DON'T CARE!
Fent, the new wave. Sure it is great!
Yet, diet and exercise, which I do, travel, which I do, and learn not just from western medicine which I do, I just let it all go and enjoy the world as it goes to shit let alone breathing the air or drinking the water. Those things are important.
LET US COMPLETELY DESTROY THIS PLANET in each their own way. Just refer to me as he/they. Because I identify as a male. I am part of the people and the planet, and like a clean habitat like most do with finances on this earth.
Bring on brain damage. No the end is nigh type but earth is kind of teaching something. Kind of honored to be a part of it actually.

Depression Demons
These demons create anxiety to such degrees that people become hopelessly lost and isolated in their own minds and feelings. Depression demons are extremely successful thought demons that will have people so caught up in their contrived fantasies that they are literally shadows of their former selves. They simply feed on the anxiety caused by the inner turmoil of a targeted individual in hopes of causing death. When someone dies think that is a highly energetic reaction once the soul releases from its physical body. This is why suicide is so common among those caught up in this demonic cycle. That is the goal. The anti-depression drugs that are given to these types often infuriate the problem leaving these poor tortured souls even more susceptible to the demonic influence.
Protip: Understand that depression is an uncontrolled internal dialog in which people become so entangled in that they think they have to die to free themselves from the spiritual abuse. That is not the case they can flood their minds with scripture, prayer and worship songs causing these demons to flee.

I disagree with the study. Think the fent study for people of the shroomery should be tried out. I will pass on this study.
They will give you five dollars, and or a blowjob in a back alley for participating in this test trial, to make sure, fent is good or rot your leg off, one has choices. It will have to be from China though.
Results will be posted by Asante. We all await them. Keep the shroomery afloat financially. Chinese are rich and the CCP, wow.
Thanks for the batman from a hidden cave. I mean your fucking lab.
Don't hate the CCP and their scientists, or their products, or the complete integrity and I never experienced being in my apartment with no food and welded in but we can all hope for that.
That movie was quite fucking funny Fred did on the shutdown. I PLAY PALESTINIAN/ISRAILI as half and half as a ginger with a ufo, fine fucking job! That shit made me laugh.

And in other news, tap water drinkers are 50 percent brain dead. Forever. Just read the shroomery for the most part. Forever chemical people. Blah, 50/50 spin that wheel.

RO filter can only get rid of 90% of the forever chemicals, so ya. Don't believe its only 50% either, they be downplaying it. Every living thing and every stream is contaminated at this point. Every fish. Every mushie we cultivate has PFAS in it. Every agar dish, etc. Everything we add water too! We're pretty much F'ed, and they'll cover it all up with BS excuses. Can't really blame them though, because it is that bad.

Doesn't "get rid " of it either. All your doing is concentrating the forever chemicals, and pumping them right back into the supply via the massive amount of waste water that the RO filters create, lol. Every fish in the US, contaminated. All toilet paper across the globe, contaminated with forever chemicals, look it up!. You wipe your ass and absorb it in everyday, regardless of the water supply!

Think it awesome with some ice cold heineken. Feeling good and for God said it was good in Utah on a Sunday so fuck you all am feeling real good.
Listening to a cat sing with his backup. 82 year old mother took in a stray named Buster and made a home and the older one Mia died of old age. So she kept Buster when I visit she shuts the door in the basement, how vagrants always get in, and Buster found a home. Ahhh.
So I hang out with him when I visit my old ma. She shuts the door at night so other strays can't get in and get to the food but Buster is trapped for the night. And since Mia died gets lonely and wants attention. Even during the day when I visit and comes quickly.
Like homeless people, street smart cat. Mum has Sheepdog, God have to clarify this shit as am fucked up, that would rip him apart so he is smart about and that is another reason to keep the basement door shut. To give time to both outdoors in my mums backyard. Never seen a cat leap like that so she made the decision for turns.
But Buster, Takes it, like homeless people do but since Mia passed on, the cat at home all her life Buster reflects this tune. Always comes back.
It made me laugh in the storage basement finding his secret hiding place. Like when on vacation and I find a great spot because I get to fucked up to get back to my hostel and a security guard gently wakes me up and says, he need to get moving bud. And up I am and refreshed! Shit passed out in bushes once on drugs on alcohol for my paid for hostel bed, slept well actually. So have nothing against this cat.
Well Buster hangs out on the porch as well now. Cats are fearless.
