They also bring the potential for abuse and addiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If someone develops an addiction to a benzodiazepine medication, it means they cannot stop using the medication without experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms are often uncomfortable and the reason that people continue using addictive substances like benzos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of \u201cbenzo belly\u201d manifest themselves because this class of medications affects&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3684331\/\">almost every cell in the body<\/a>, including those of the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some examples of benzodiazepines include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/xanax-addiction\/\">Alprazolam (Xanax)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/klonopin-addiction\/\">Clonazepam (Klonopin)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/librium-addiction\/\">Chlordiazepoxide (Librium)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/valium-addiction\/\">Diazepam (Valium)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/ativan-addiction\/\">Lorazepam (Ativan)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/restoril-addiction\/\">Temazepam (Restoril)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/halcion-addiction\/\">Triazolam (Halcion)<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>What Causes Benzo Belly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With a benzodiazepine dependence, if drug use is stopped, the body must adjust to not having the drug present all the time. This adjustment process is what creates uncomfortable symptoms in the stomach, or benzo belly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most substances, withdrawal symptoms last one or two weeks after taking the last dose. Benzodiazepines are known for having long post-acute withdrawal symptoms (PAWS), or protracted withdrawal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBenzo belly\u201d itself usually begins in the protracted withdrawal phase. It may continue for several weeks after the last dose of a benzodiazepine. Symptoms usually get better with time, but may last a year or more for some people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Benzo Belly Symptoms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBenzo belly\u201d symptoms may include alternating diarrhea and constipation. The condition is often made worse by certain foods. Some claim that one\u2019s diet or particular foods help ease symptoms, and this probably varies from person to person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of other symptoms of \u201cBenzo belly\u201d include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Abdominal Pain<\/li><li>Appetite Changes<\/li><li>Constipation<\/li><li>Diarrhea<\/li><li>Lower abdominal pain<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For people prescribed benzos by their doctor, they should discuss&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/benzodiazepine-addiction\/benzodiazepine-taper\/\">discontinuing the drug<\/a>&nbsp;if they have been using it for more than four weeks. Evidence shows that benzodiazepines are not effective following this period and continued use only increases the chances of addiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People using benzodiazepines like Xanax and Klonopin without a prescription should consider speaking to an addiction professional to talk about&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/benzodiazepine-addiction\/treatment-rehab\/\">treatment options<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-highlight\"><strong>Related Topic:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/alcohol-abuse\/faq\/can-alcohol-cause-gastritis\/\">Alcohol gastritis treatment<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Is There a Benzo Belly Cure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, no; people withdrawing from benzos must be patient and wait for symptoms to go away. However, some people may find some relief by changing their diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms are sometimes made worse by certain foods. Many people with \u201cbenzo belly\u201d mistakenly become convinced they have developed a new food allergy when in reality they are experiencing withdrawal symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People using a benzodiazepine medication chronically should speak with their doctor about&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/benzodiazepine-addiction\/benzodiazepine-taper\/\">tapering off the medication<\/a>. A slow taper is usually the best option to help prevent withdrawal symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People who use benzodiazepines for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4657308\/\">longer than four to six weeks<\/a>&nbsp;are at the greatest risk of developing a tolerance that leads to addiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><a href=\"tel:+18554018356\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stopping certain anxiety medications may cause symptoms of \u201cbenzo belly\u201d, including diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and appetite changes. \u201cBenzo belly\u201d is a term used to describe the stomach discomfort that happens when people&nbsp;withdraw from a benzodiazepine&nbsp;medication.
