Benzodiazepines have been in clinical use since the 1960s. Benzodiazepines act through allosteric modulation of the GABAA receptor to enhance the activity of GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, resulting in a slowing of neurotransmission and sedative and anxiolytic effects.

The frequency and quantity of alcohol consumption is a major consideration in patients who need treatment with benzodiazepines. Alcohol affects the GABA-benzodiazepine-chloride ionophore complex and has an agonist-like action. Thus, additive interactions should be expected from combining alcohol with benzodiazepines. Furthermore, alcohol has clinically

Benzodiazepines (BDPs) are widely used drugs that are effective in controlling the symptoms of anxiety. Tolerance develops rapidly to some of the effects but not to anxiolytic effect in most patients. Dependence occurs at usual therapeutic doses and in a small proportion of patients is accompanied by an enormous increase in the dose taken. The majority

Benzodiazepine use and dependence are on the rise as well as the number of deaths attributable to the combination of opioids and benzodiazepines. Anxiety, the most frequent condition for which benzodiazepines are prescribed, occurs commonly, and is increasingly noted to coincide with pregnancy.

AbstractBenzodiazepines present problems related to both unwanted and withdrawal effects. Dosage adjustments usually obviate unwanted effects except for paradoxical reactions such as hostility. Patients with apparent benzodiazepine dependence need careful assessment with respect to personality, social situation and psychiatric disorder.

The existence of endogenous benzodiazepines such as diazepam and nordiazepam has been provided in human blood and brains as well as in medicinal plants and foods. It must be stressed, however, that in plasma and brain tissue there are also other benzodiazepine-like compounds termed 'endozepines' which are not halogenated.

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 1996Benzodiazepines have a checkered history in the United States; public and professional attitudes about them have ranged from their being wonder drugs in the 1970s to being virtually purged from many formularies as addictive and dangerous in the 1980s. The attitude today is that they are useful for specific indications.
