Benzodiazepines - Withdrawal & Side Effects
By Julie Lynn MarksMedically Reviewed by Robert Jasmer, MD

Medically Reviewed
Benzodiazepines are some of the most commonly prescribed medications in the United States.
Benzodiazepines are psychoactive drugs that help relax muscles and relieve anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
Doctors also administer them as an anesthetic before certain procedures or surgeries.
Benzodiazepines are among the most commonly prescribed medications in the United States.
They work by altering the effect of a chemical messenger, or neurotransmitter, called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
In 1955, Leo Sternbach discovered chlordiazepoxide (Librium), which was the first benzodiazepine. It became available in 1960.
Other benzodiazepine drugs include:
- Alprazolam (Xanax)
- Clonazepam (Klonopin)
- Clorazepate (Tranxene)
- Diazepam (Valium)
- Estazolam (Prosom)
- Flurazepam (Dalmane)
- Lorazepam (Ativan)
- Midazolam (Versed)
- Oxazepam (Serax)
- Temazepam (Restoril)
- Triazolam (Halcion)
- Quazepam (Doral)
Benzodiazepines are classified by how long their effects last.
They can be ultra-short acting, short-acting, or long-acting.
Some also break down into other drugs that are active and can therefore have a longer duration of action.
Benzodiazepines AbuseBenzodiazepines can be habit-forming and are often abused.
Using these drugs in higher doses or more often than a doctor prescribes is dangerous and can result in injury or death.
Short-term use of benzodiazepines is safe, but long-term use can lead to dependence.
Some of these medicines are known as "date rape" drugs, because they're added to a person's drink to impair judgement and make him/her susceptible to sexual assault.
These benzodiazepines include flunitrazepam (Rohypnol), Klonopin, and Xanax.
Rohypnol, commonly known as a "roofie," is no longer available legally in the United States, but can be purchased in other countries.
Benzodiazepine Side EffectsBenzodiazepines can cause side effects, such as:
- Drowsiness
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Dry mouth
- Constipation
- Weight gain
- Confusion
- Trembling
- Headache
- Depression
- Changes in vision
- Worsening breathing problems
- Birth defects if taken during pregnancy
Elderly people who take benzodiazepines are more likely to suffer side effects and may be at an increased risk for accidents or falls.
You can experience serious withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking benzodiazepines suddenly.
Symptoms of benzodiazepine withdrawal include:
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Seizures and sometimes death
If you have been taking a benzodiazepine drug regularly, talk to your doctor before you stop taking it.
Benzodiazepines OverdoseSymptoms of a benzodiazepine overdose include:
- Drowsiness
- Confusion
- Dizziness
- Weakness
- Blurred vision
- Breathing difficulties
- Coma
- Slurred speech
- Lack of coordination
If you suspect an overdose, contact a poison control center or go to an emergency room immediately.

Author's profile
Many people now experience anxiety, and it can be difficult to deal with it on your own.
About what ways can really help, we wrote in the article "5 tips on how to cope with anxiety in difficult times."
However, some popular medications and supplements that are marketed as anti-anxiety medications have no evidence of effectiveness.
Some of them are relatively harmless, but others have side effects and contraindications, so under certain conditions they can do more harm than good. If you are planning to purchase a medication for anxiety, we recommend that you consult with your doctor. And this list will help you make an informed decision.

But remember: the responsibility for your health lies with you and your doctor. We don't write prescriptions, we make recommendations. Relying on our point of view or not is up to you.
Novo-Passit
What is it. Phytotherapeutic tablets or solution based on herbal extracts of Valerian officinalis, lemon balm, St.
Novo-Passit - GRLS
According to the manufacturer, the drug helps with a state of constant mental stress and mild forms of insomnia.
Proof of effectiveness. Novo-Passit is not mentioned in international databases of medicines, nor is it in clinical recommendations for the treatment of any diseases.
/list/medical-evidence/
14 authoritative medical sources
Some drugs are made from chemicals derived from plants. For example, cardiac glycosides are made from digitalis purpurea. But for the manufacture of the drug, not the whole plant and not the extract from it are used, but separate, carefully purified chemicals, the concentration of which is very strictly controlled.
Products containing extracts or whole parts of one or more plants are classified as herbal medicine and are considered dietary supplements in most countries. Therefore, they are neither in international drug databases nor in clinical guidelines for the treatment of diseases.
What is Phytotherapy - MedlinePlus Medical Guide
There is no need to look for evidence of the effectiveness of dietary supplements, since by law it is just food.
All that is required of them is to be safe, that is, not to harm the health of the people who take them. Since it is not necessary to prove the effectiveness of herbal remedies, they are very poorly studied. When it comes to complex herbal remedies, research is further complicated by the fact that they do not work the way they would work separately.
/dietary-supplements/
They say expensive dietary supplements are more effective than cheap ones. Truth?
For example, although the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, considers valerian essential oil and rhizome preparations to have a calming effect, we do not know how this plant extract will work in combination with other plant extracts.
Valerian essential oils - EMA
Valerian rhizomes - EMA
Finding out how effective a multi-herb formulation works is also difficult because different researchers study different sets of herbal extracts at different concentrations. As a result, most scientists admit that we do not yet have reliable information on how effective herbal preparations based on herbs are for anxiety.
For example, psychotherapists in Switzerland who were trying to understand whether a combination of extracts of valerian, lemon balm, passionflower and butterbur helps with anxiety disorders. They gave part of the patients these supplements and compared the effect with patients who did not receive supplements, and came to the conclusion that the supplements can reduce the dosage of the main drugs - benzodiazepines.
Effect of a combination of valerian, lemon balm, passionflower and butterbur extracts on benzodiazepine prescribing in hospitalized patients with psychiatric disorders - Journal of Phytotherapy
These types of studies are called case-control studies.
Even if they show that patients got better, this cannot be considered conclusive evidence of the effectiveness of the drug, since doctors knew who was receiving which drug and could unwittingly embellish the result. Patients who received supplements could also believe in their power and feel better - this is called the placebo effect.
To understand how well supplements really work, you need to study them the way you study drugs, that is, subject them to a randomized clinical trial. With this procedure, patients are randomly divided into two groups, one of which receives the drug, and the other receives exactly the same type of dummy pills, and neither doctors nor patients know which group they fell into until the end of the experiment. But there are still no such works devoted to supplements with herbal extracts for anxiety. Until they appear, nothing definite can be said about whether they work.
Another component of Novo-Passit, guaifenesin, is known mainly as a cough suppressant and expectorant.
There is still no convincing evidence that guaifenesin helps with coughing - but it has quite a few side effects.
Guaifenesin - a cough remedy - drugs.com
I have not been able to find studies of guaifenesin as an anti-anxiety agent.
Contraindications and side effects. In the instructions, the manufacturer writes that Novo-Passit is contraindicated in children under 12 years of age and people with intolerance to the components of the drug - especially guaifenesin. As a rule, it is well tolerated, but some people complain of allergies, dizziness, weakness, drowsiness and gastrointestinal disorders - from vomiting and heartburn to diarrhea.
| The cost of the drug depends on the number of tablets in the package and the volume of the vial | A pack of 10 tablets and a 100 ml bottle of solution cost about the same - 460-470 R |
Persen
What is it.
Phytotherapeutic tablets and capsules based on the extract of rhizomes of valerian, lemon balm and mint.
Persen — GRLS
According to the manufacturer, the drug has a sedative effect.
Proof of effectiveness. Persen is not mentioned in the international drug databases, it is not in the clinical recommendations for the treatment of any diseases either. This is a phytotherapeutic drug similar to Novo-Passit, but with a slightly different composition. He has exactly the same problems with evidence of effectiveness.
Contraindications and side effects. According to the manufacturer, the drug should not be taken by people with hypersensitivity to its components, people with low blood pressure, diseases of the biliary tract, children under 12 years of age, pregnant and lactating women. The drug can cause allergic reactions - from rashes to edema, and with prolonged use, provoke constipation.
The cost of the drug depends on the number of tablets in the package.
The price of a pack of 20 tablets is 351 R Corvalol
What is it. Corvalol is sold in two versions:
- phytotherapeutic agent based on extracts of lemon balm leaves, peppermint and motherwort grass in tablets and water-based drops;
- phytotherapeutic agent based on extracts of lemon balm leaves, peppermint, motherwort herb, which contains phenobarbital. These are drops based on 95% alcohol.
Corvalol tablets - GRLS
Corvalol drops with phenobarbital - GRLS
According to the manufacturers, Corvalol in both versions "has a calming effect."
Proof of effectiveness. As a remedy for anxiety, both versions of Corvalol, both with and without phenobarbital, are not mentioned in any international drug database. In clinical recommendations for the treatment of any diseases, they are also absent.
There is no convincing evidence that any of the components of Corvalol without phenobarbital can work as a sedative.
According to some studies, lemon balm tea or tincture relieves insomnia, and the smell of peppermint can reduce stress a little. But there is no evidence that in tablets or drops these components will act in the same way as in the form of tea or essential oil.
Perhaps lemon balm tea or tincture helps with insomnia - RxList
Perhaps the smell of mint can relieve stress - RxList
Why phenobarbital is dangerous - drugs.com
Corvalol with phenobarbital may indeed have a sedative effect - for account, in fact, phenobarbital. This is a very old tranquilizer, in most countries its is prescribed only as an anticonvulsant and its use is strictly controlled, since phenobarbital is addictive and has many side effects.
Contraindications and side effects. Manufacturers of Corvalol without phenobarbital warn that it has quite a few contraindications: from allergies to its components to peptic ulcer, liver or kidney diseases, pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Children under 18 years of age should not take the drug.
Manufacturers of Corvalol with phenobarbital add alcoholism and traumatic brain injury to the list of contraindications. Experts from other countries warn that phenobarbital is also contraindicated in severe asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, i.e. COPD, porphyria, and for people with a history of drug dependence in the past. The list of side effects of phenobarbital drops includes dizziness, weakness, nausea, decreased alertness, and rash.

14 important questions for Anton Rodionov, a cardiologist
tabletsMotherwort preparations and supplements
What is it. Phytotherapeutic agents based on motherwort extract. According to the manufacturers, such drugs have a pronounced sedative effect - that is, they work as a strong sedative.
Preparation based on motherwort extract - GRLS
Motherwort-based supplements registered in Russia
Motherwort as a source of bioactive compounds - European Medicines Agency report medical reference book RxList
In Russia, there are both medicines and biologically active supplements based on motherwort - both in the form of liquid extracts and in capsules.
Proof of effectiveness. Motherwort-based preparations are not listed as an anxiety remedy in any international drug database. In clinical recommendations for the treatment of any diseases, it is also absent.
Theoretically, motherwort may have a potential neurological effect. Some substances in this plant can bind to receptors for gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA. This neurotransmitter is responsible for the inhibition of the nervous system, so the researchers suggested that the biologically active substances in motherwort would work in a similar way.
But when the substances in the motherwort extract that could work as sedatives were tested separately, their biological effect was very weak. Most likely, patients with anxiety would simply not feel its effects.
The effectiveness of motherwort remedies in healthy people with severe anxiety has not been tested. According to some studies, the combination of motherwort, valerian, hops, and lemon balm improves sleep in people with alcoholism who are trying to quit drinking.
However, there is no conclusive evidence for this yet.
Contraindications and side effects. Motherwort preparation companies warn that some people may have allergies or digestive disorders - indigestion, that is, pain or discomfort in the stomach, and diarrhea.
Motherwort preparations and supplements are contraindicated in people taking neurological preparations based on calcium hydroxybutyrate, magnesium hydroxybutyrate, potassium hydroxybutyrate, or sodium hydroxybutyrate. Motherwort can enhance the effect of such drugs - up to severe poisoning and coma.
Motherwort is incompatible with hydroxybutyrates - Medscape Medical Guide
Some pharmaceutical companies offer motherwort extract based on 70% alcohol. According to the instructions, you need to use the drug in 30-50 drops diluted in water - the maximum content of ethyl alcohol in such a dose is 0.55 g, and in the maximum daily dose - 2.2 g.
International organizations believe that women can take no more than one standard serving of alcoholic beverages per day, and for men - no more than two servings.
This is 14 g of pure ethanol.
The amount of ethyl alcohol that can be obtained with the maximum dose of the drug is much less than the standard serving of alcohol. Nevertheless, people who take drugs that are incompatible with alcoholic beverages, such as antidepressants, should, just in case, abandon the alcohol tincture of motherwort.
The cost of the drug depends on the pricing policy of the manufacturer. The cheapest package of 10 tablets can be bought for 18 RValidol
What is it. Sublingual tablets based on levomenthol - a substance that is obtained from peppermint essential oil.
Validol - GRLS
Manufacturers claim that this drug "has a sedative effect" - that is, it works as a sedative.
Proof of effectiveness. Levomenthol-based drugs are not listed as anti-anxiety drugs in any international drug database.
In some countries, levomenthol is approved only as an external agent for veterinary use.
It is mainly used as a cough suppressant, anti-inflammatory and antipruritic drug in humans and animals.
Levomenthol — drugs.com
How levomenthol is used in medicine — PubChem chemical guide
No one has studied the effectiveness of peppermint essential oils and levomenthol preparations for anxiety in people.
Contraindications and side effects. There are few contraindications for drugs with levomenthol: mostly it is an allergy or intolerance to the components of the drug, the medicine is not suitable for children under 18 years of age. But there are side effects: nausea, watery eyes and dizziness. According to the manufacturers, the drug is incompatible with alcohol.
The cost of the drug depends on the number of tablets in the package and on the pricing policy of the manufacturer. The cheapest package of 20 tablets costs 54 RAfobazol
What is it. A drug based on a substance that received the international name fabomotizol.
In our country, "Afobazol" of immediate and delayed action is sold. In the delayed-release preparation, the concentration of the active substance is three times higher, and it is absorbed during the day.
Afobazol - GRLS
According to the manufacturers, tablets with fabomotizol reduce anxiety and stimulate the nervous system.
Proof of effectiveness. Fabomotizole is not listed as an anti-anxiety drug in any international drug database.
The effectiveness of "Afobazole" as a remedy for anxiety was studied only in Russia - the drug is not used anywhere else in the world. I could not find independent studies on the effectiveness of the active substance for anxiety.
Contraindications and side effects. Among the contraindications, the manufacturer lists only individual intolerance to the components of the drug, age under 18, pregnancy and the period of feeding a child. And among the side effects are allergies and headaches.
| An immediate drug. Price: 720 R | Delayed drug. As a rule, slow-acting drugs are more expensive. Price: 894 R |
Tenoten
What is it. Lozenges based on lactose sugar. The composition of the drug intended for adults includes antibodies to the brain-specific S-protein at a concentration of 10 -15 ng / g, and the children's version - 10 -16 ng / g.
Tenoten for adults - GRLS
According to the manufacturer, it has a calming and anti-anxiety effect.
Proof of effectiveness. The concentration of the active substance makes it possible to recognize Tenoten as a homeopathic remedy, since at a concentration of 10 -15 -10 -16 ng / g, not a single antibody may appear in the tablet. But even if there were more antibodies, manufacturer-independent data that antibodies to the brain-specific S-protein reduce anxiety, no.
On the pseudo-science of homeopathy - Memorandum No. 2 of the RAS commission on combating pseudo-science
Contraindications and side effects. Although Tenoten does not actually contain an active ingredient, the manufacturer believes that its use may be harmful to people suffering from lactose intolerance and glucose-galactose malabsorption - in this rare hereditary disease, a person cannot absorb glucose and galactose normally.

top-5 rating according to the KP version
Everyone is well aware of the phrase "all diseases are from nerves." Indeed, prolonged stress undermines our health, reduces immunity. As a result of constant failures, diseases to which a tendency has been observed develop. For example, if you have relatives with hypertension, you have a high risk of developing the disease after prolonged stressful conditions.
Short-term stress and emotional outbursts are usually not harmful. Much more dangerous is the sluggish nervous tension that often occurs among residents of megacities. Lack of sleep, city noise, worries at work lead to prolonged, but unnoticed depression, fatigue, mood and sleep disorders. This can drag on for years, until the person "breaks loose", falling into a panic or aggressive state.
Many people unknowingly develop bad habits, start smoking and drinking alcohol to relieve stress. Toxic substances exacerbate the situation.
You can keep your nervous system healthy in other ways. Go in for sports, walk in the fresh air, consult a psychotherapist, take supportive drugs. Light drugs are not addictive and act on the brain quite gently. Therefore, you can buy the best pills for stress and nerves without prescriptions.

How to choose pills for stress and nerves
You should not prescribe even light sedatives on your own. Most likely, they will not cause direct harm, but they can “blur” the picture of the course of a nervous disease. You may actually need a different type of medication and psychotherapy sessions. Therefore, it is better to consult a neurologist or a psychotherapist.
“The drug should be chosen according to the problems. If you experience "bodily anxiety" - a feeling of tingling in the body, a coma in the throat, a feeling of lack of air, pressing pains and tightness behind the sternum, it is better to choose drugs with the properties of a vegetative stabilizer.
