Brass Tacks Benzo Drug Addiction
30:04  - 1 year ago
An old Brass Tacks documentary from 1987 about benzodiazepine drug addiction. The drug addicts in this short documentary are not doing anything illegal, their drug addiction is to drugs prescribed by their doctor. The drugs include alprazolam, clonazepam, chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, lorazepam, nitrazepam, oxazepam, temazepam. You may know these drugs under their brand names xanax, klonopin, rivotril, librium, valium, ativan, mogadon, serax or restoril. This documentary shows the devastating effects these drugs have when taken long term including turning people into amnesia suffering zombies with a wide range of drug induced psychiatric conditions including agoraphobia, depression, anxiety and feeling suicidal. The withdrawal symptoms that a benzo addict can expect to experience may include increased tension, anxiety, burning sensations, abdominal cramps, feeling unreal and a detachment from reality, burning sensations, oversensitvity to light and sound, crawling feelings under their skin, loss of balance, panic, shaking, sweating, insomnia, tremors and even seizures or psychosis. In this video clip you will see members of the Committee on the Safety of Medicine such as Professor Malcolm Lader, Professor Michael Rawlins and other doctors. A tranquilliser addict's drug habit often costs them their career, marriage, they miss their kids growing up leaving them as an agoraphobic housebound suidical recluse. As you will see confirmed in this video clip dependence (addiction) occurs on so called "normal" therapeutic dosages. This documentary is a very important educational video about this huge addiction to benzos, an often ignored addiction where the victims suffer in silence often unaware that it is the drugs making them sick, trapped in a cycle of misery of side effects and withdrawal effects.
