Great videos doc. Thank you for what you do.

Love your show. Thank you for what you do. Also thank you for responding back to me the last time that I messaged you:)

Thank you for such a thorough and considerate explanation! Back in the 90's Dr's prescribed too often, now many are still dealing with the consequences of these drugs.

I usually deal with crippling anxiety. And a high intensity workout usually makes me feel a lot better. If I need food, I will eat. And I have also been started on TRT. This has literally changed my life.

Would be interesting if someone had statistics of the lives benzos have saved.

I always enjoy your videos and appreciate your breakdowns! Thank you!!! Xo

Great channel! Please keep helping people with benzo tolerance and addiction. They’re impossible to get off of without a very good doctor like yourself. Here in So. Cal. one is thrown into a 3-4 day phenobarbital detox. It’s horrible and doesn’t work. 🙏

This was a great video love ya dr b

Thank you very much Dr. God bless you. you are one of the few humanitarian doctors. my question is, use the xanax for 11 months 1 MG. I did a very quick reduction in three weeks. because I didn't know anything about that drug. not even the psychiatrist who indicated it to me did not inform me. I already have 6 months and days without taking it and I have horrible dependency symptoms. how internal tremors. muscle pain etc. is there any psychiatric treatment. available to recover. and to be able to survive in the attempt. without having to use benzodiazepines again. Thank you.

Dr B. Aren't tolerance and withdraw a symptom of dependance and not true addiction? Where as if you have those along with euphoria and addictive personality, the right genes and environment, you can be addicted?? Love your videos and philosophy. When I was in in-house rehab for 30 days, the sickest and most medically necessary managed were alcoholics and benzo addicts. It was sad and horrible. I tried to comfort them as much as I could. Sad..

U nailed it :)

Dr I appreciate the hearted ❤ but the answer would ne much appreciated

How do you tell your doctor your tolerance is an issue and you need more for the therapeutic effect? I don't take them for recreational purposes. My tolerance is just so high. I've been on benzodiazepines for over 12 years

I take xanax for avoiding panic atacks. 2 years 2mg/day. Dont even want to think for how the withdrawals will look :(:(

Hi dear sir i am taking alprazolam. 5 mg daily sine 13 years. I never develop it tolerance.but now i want to get rid off from this how plz guide. I sleep without taking this medication

Thank you for sharing this Excellent Video, Dr. B.!!! In my experience Xanax seems to be the most abused one, but a benzodiazepine addict will take any of them. I think Xanax should be taken off the market.

I have panic disorder and it mostly happens when I drive out of town! I use it to help me drive to work and it helps me to feel less anxious when I leave my comfort zone! I'm scared to death about becoming addicted! I take 1-2 mg on a hard day! The most I have had in a day was 3mg... Am I at risk? Well obviously everyone is but is that a lot? I've been on ativan for over 5yrs!

Great video Dr. B. I hope there’s hope for tapers via switching to a longer lasting Med in the benzo family. How much Klonopin could safely be prescribed for long term titration? My friend is at 8 one mg Xanax per day.

Dr B. Have you seen the video by Dr Jorden Peterson's daughter? She talks about him getting dependant on Klonipen and also having to go to Russia to get treatment after trying to withdrawel slowly and it not working. I guess he's doing well now though..

Easy said then done

I suffered Grand mal seizures and the year it took me to get off Diazepam in which was HELL on EARTH . that outer body experience is like being possessed total Horrer

Ive been on xanax for 9 months ( unperscribed) , i was at 2mg of xanax a day and over 5 months ive been able to slowly wean myself down to about 0.9 mg. I went to the doctor yesterday and he wanted to give me more xanax and taper my remaining .25 every week. I refused and said i wanted something with a longer half-life Long story short he gave me librium 10mg 3 times a day and i cutout all my xanax. How bad is this gonna be for me? Am i gonna die and have a seizure? Im too young for this to happen to and with no insurance, going to talk to a doctor is a gamble because half the time they dont know how to get them off. Am i going to die?

I went true benzo wd and it was easy compare to buprenorfine wd..that was hard battle..sttill is after monts of pain.

I laughed my ass of when the alcohol picture came, Finlandia vodka in the middle. I'm from Finland and I'm battling with addiction with alc bdz bup

I’m 74 and began taking Lorazepam in1999 for a heart rhythm problem. After 14 days in the hospital, it was the only thing that stopped the arrhythmia. I have taken 1mg morning and night since. Should I try to taper off is my question.

I was prescribe xanax 1mg a day as needed a lot of times I never took 4 a day. But since I been cut back to 2 half milligrams and day I'm having trouble sleeping and when I get overly upset I will have a seizure. I do have primary progressive MS and seizure disorder but I never experienced any pleasure from taking it at any time

Is this with a low dose 0.5 for a month use , klonopin was prescribed for panic attacks. Would I have withdrawls already if I quit them now?

I was put on klonopin because I could not sleep as my mother was dying...2 years later (she has died) I am still on 1.5 of klonopin and if I wean off of it what can I take to sleep.....I have tried Trazodone, Remeron and they don't work...and I hate taking drugs.....I also came down with Crohn's disease ...all of this due to the anxiety of losing my mother. I am 77 years old.....help!

What time frame we talking about to get addicted you here 2 weeks taking True??

DR B HERE'S ANOTHER THING I WENT THROUGH. MY SWEAT WAS SO STRONG IT DISSOLVED MY UNDER ARM HAIR ??? IT'S GROWING BACK NOW. FUNNY YES AND VERY WILD DETOX LIFE STORIES WITHDRAWALS UNBELIEVABLE WHAT WE DO TO OUR BODIES, STUPIDITY? I COULD WRITE A BOOK AND I MIGHT WHEN ABLE, helping

Been on xanx for 20 years 10 years ago around i cut down drom around 8 mg ro 2.5 mg but havnt had any progress in years . I have Faith one day i will be fully off i dont kno how but i kno i cant be on it for life .

It is NOT worse than Opiate withdrawals. I've kicked both Multiple times. Opiate withdrawal is pure hell 24/7 for 3-4 weeks, no sleep whatsoever and no time throughout the day where you forget you're suffering. Benzo withdrawal comes in waves throughout the day, and doesn't last as long. you'll get brain zaps, rebound anxiety, and general sense of dysphoria, but there are times throughout the day you feel fine and forget you're even in withdrawal. I've also been able to sleep decent with Benzo withdrawal, the sleep deprivation of Opiate addiction is literal torture and much worse than Benzos. I Haye hearing people saying how hard it is to get off Benzos because subconsciously it makes people's withdrawal worse because they're expecting it to be sooo bad. It's not. Especially if you taper down which is pretty easy on Benzos and not easy on Opiates. Listen to us the addicts, not Doctor's who have never experienced either withdrawal.

Will I become addicted to 1mg of clonzapam taken once, at the most sometimes twice a week?

This its too complicate , to get out of it..

I cant sleep without the Benzo Temazepam HOw do I stop?

What your definition of short term use ?????

So who should be on Benzos like Klonopin for long term?

Dependency

How to avoid addiction, don't start !!!!

sadly u missed the point of the title of your upload, Don't take it every day 'simple n try n stick to short acting ones or even juggle between long n short acting ones but make sure u dont take then every day or even every 3rd day - the problem is that u Dr's need to try taking the meds u so call no so much about.. as really u only no 50% sadly.. oh n try n find a Dr who dosnt believe n think in the way the medical fild wants him to as there the real good Dr's n will tell u the total truth in regards to wat medications really do to us n how to avoid cretin side affects. ps oh n have u noticed when they talk about side affects the put them all in 5the same catalyst 'like wat could happen when u r on the medication and also wat can happen when u stop taking it ( withdrawals ) but they never explain this but always list them together so basically u think it could happen when u r on them when it comes to withdrawals or visa versa, bloody ridiculous. . Plz just never trust a Dr fully n always listen to your own bodys guy Plz..

Can I call you?

dont take them .

How long can I safely use Benzos? A few weeks. Why can’t I use Benzo’s longer than that? With continued use they cause key areas of the brain to wither away; cause memory loss; sleep disturbances; and the inability to ‘lift’ the emotional challenges of day-to-day living. Symbolically: you could say that over time, with continued use of Benzo’s, your brain will need a wheel chair to get around! As a direct result, long term Benzo users find themselves being prescribed yet more and more benzos’; and when that fails, patients will often add alcohol and/or narcotics in an attempt to support their sagging mental structure.1 What is the purpose of Benzos? To anesthetize your brain from pain - Just like an aspirin or opium does for a headache, or musculoskeletal pain. If it’s so dangerous, why do physicians prescribe it for longer periods of time? Because they are really great for business! Drugs in the USA are over-priced - sometimes as much as several thousands of percent higher than the international generic drug equivalent - and that means big profits for the pharmaceutical companies! As you will note, government regulators are the same men that work for the pharmaceutical companies for which they are charged to protect us! Just think of all the additional medications and medical procedures that could be required after taking long-term benzo’s! It’s all great for business, but not for the patient. With continual use, you find your physician prescribing yet more and more benzo’s,2 and later Z-drugs to help you sleep, (Z-drugs like Ambien also erode brain matter), and so on. The longer you are on Benzo’s, the more disabled you become, all of which guarantees that you become a life-time patient! In fact, following an analysis of around 50 dead celebrities, from Elvis Presley to Michael Jackson, it was discovered that long-term Benzo use led to their death!3 But I thought the doctor was trying to promote good mental health? Well, an uninformed physician might actually think he is trying to help. Many physicians just want to use your body like Energy Chattel. If it’s so dangerous, why haven’t I heard of this problem before? The rest of the world has been warned and has been instructed to avoid longer term use. Many countries like the UK, Germany, Holland, and others have long-standing policies against the long-term use of Benzos. US drug industry regulators also work for the very same corporations they are supposed to protect us from - As a direct result, USA medicine is ranked 72nd overall,4 and has the world’s most expensive pharmaceutical costs. For instance, in the USA the Benzo Xanax is priced 600,000% higher than the International Generic Drug Equivalent (alprazolam). So as you can see from the corporate share-holders point of view, it’s really great for business to keep you laid-out on Benzos! So, what is the actual cause of the mental health disorders they are treating? Science has deployed a whole collection of brand-new brain imaging methods to answer that question. These devices have allowed science to actually see inside of the brain and monitor its level of activity. Using these new imaging techniques scientists have discovered that key parts of the brain among patients with depression and anxiety are weak & underactive: Specific modules of the brain have simply withered away! It is little wonder the patient has a really tough time lifting the emotional requirements of daily life. It was appreciation of this fact that created a new paradigm shift in the understanding & treatment of these disorders: to strengthen the organic structures of the brain as if it were a muscle.
