They have become a common treatment method. The benefits of using benzos for anxiety are significant. They act fast and are effective for most people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking benzos for anxiety may be effective, but potential risks should not be ignored. When determining whether this is a viable treatment option, someone must examine the risks of dependence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Do Benzos Help with Anxiety?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Benzos are effective for many people and provide quick relief of anxiety symptoms. They work by influencing chemical in the brain to slow the central nervous system. As a result, they produce a state of relaxation. Barbiturates were mostly used before benzos became popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Common Benzodiazepines for Anxiety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly all of the common benzos used to treat anxiety produce similar effects.&nbsp; However, the duration of these effects will differ based on the type of drug. The side effects of each will be a major difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most common benzos used to treat anxiety include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-columns-2\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/xanax-addiction\/\">Xanax<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/valium-addiction\/\">Valium<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/ativan-addiction\/\">Ativan<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/klonopin-addiction\/\">Klonopin<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>Anxiety and Xanax<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking Xanax for anxiety is common. Xanax may provide quick results due to the way it affects the body. Xanax may be used for a variety of anxiety disorders including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/mental-health\/generalized-anxiety-disorder\/\">Generalized anxiety disorder<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/mental-health\/panic-disorder\/\">Panic disorder<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/mental-health\/agoraphobia\/\">Agoraphobia<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The dosage may vary based on the type of anxiety disorder being treated. Xanax typically produces relaxing effects for as long as 11 to 20 hours. However, a major concern with the use of Xanax for anxiety is the possibility of developing a dependence.&nbsp; This can happen even when used as prescribed. Xanax is recommended only for short term use but is often prescribed for longer periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Anxiety and Valium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common drug to help with anxiety is Valium. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/xanax-addiction\/xanax-and-valium\/\">Its effects last longer than Xanax<\/a> and may provide relief for as long as one to three days. The dosage used may be based on the type of anxiety being treated. In addition to treating anxiety, Valium has been used to treat insomnia. Valium has many of the same risks as Xanax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Anxiety and Ativan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ativan is used to treat anxiety and to calm patients before medical procedures. Ativan is also used to treat some sleep disorders. Using Ativan to treat anxiety is of some concern because of the risk of dependence. Major factors for whether someone will develop a dependence include the dosage and the duration of use. The longer someone uses Ativan and the higher the dosage, the more likely they are to develop an addiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Anxiety and Klonopin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Klonopin has been used for several of the same anxiety disorders as Xanax and Ativan.&nbsp; It can also be prescribed to treat&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/mental-health\/ocd\/\">OCD<\/a>. Using Klonopin to treat anxiety is effective but has risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Alternatives to Benzodiazepines for Anxiety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Benzos are typically used to treat anxiety, despite the serious risks. It is possible to find a safe alternative to benzos for anxiety. Non-benzos for anxiety may include antidepressants, supplements and antihistamines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/treatment-program\/addiction-medications\/antidepressants\/\">Antidepressants<\/a>&nbsp;can have benefits for people with anxiety. These drugs, including Zoloft, Prozac, Celexa and Lexapro, are most often used. They need to be taken daily for many weeks before the full effects are felt. So, many people with anxiety can become frustrated and stop this treatment due to the delay. However, if used regularly, the effects of these drugs may last longer with fewer risks than benzos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supplements require more research but were shown to reduce anxiety. There are benefits of using omega-3 fatty acids for reducing anxiety. L-theanine, found in green tea, has also been shown to provide anxiety relief. L-theanine has fairly quick results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If someone is thinking about taking supplements to treat anxiety they should discuss it with a doctor first. The FDA does not regulate them, so proceed with caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Antihistamines have been approved for the treatment of anxiety. They also do not carry the risk of dependence. These drugs can provide relief quickly and are often used with antidepressant treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Can Benzos Cause Anxiety?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most concerning aspects of using benzos to treat anxiety may be the risk of accidentally increasing anxiety. Misuse and over-prescribing of benzos may be the culprit for a person\u2019s anxiety. Someone who takes benzos frequently may lower their tolerance for distress and anxiety. When benzos are not taken, small things may cause severe anxiety. Chronic use of benzos also increases sensitivity to anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Treating Benzo Addiction and Anxiety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/benzodiazepine-addiction\/withdrawal-detox\/\">Benzodiazepine withdrawal<\/a>&nbsp;should occur in a medical facility like a hospital or treatment center. This is due to severe health risks they present. Benzos are one of two substances that have the risk of death from withdrawal. Alcohol is the other. Someone detoxing from benzos will usually be monitored while the drug is naturally cleared by the body. In some cases, medical support is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone going through Benzo withdrawal will have difficulty sleeping, increased anxiety, panic attacks, and other symptoms. This may cause a person to feel they need to continue taking the drug. Learning to manage anxiety may be one of the largest predictors of recovery in treating addiction to benzos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Key Points: Benzos and Anxiety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some key points to remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Benzos can help people treat anxiety<\/li><li>The drugs can be very harmful if people are not careful<\/li><li>Only take benzos with a doctor\u2019s permission<\/li><li>Sometimes benzos can make anxiety worse<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While taking benzos may help treat anxiety, they can be harmful.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/contact\/\">Contact<\/a>&nbsp;The Recovery Village today to learn how treatment can help you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While taking benzodiazepines for anxiety may be effective, there are potential disadvantages that should not be ignored.
