The Ashton Manual Supplement - Dr. Heather Ashton
"Benzodiazepines: How They Work & How to Withdraw" discusses the overprescription and misuse of benzodiazepines, the challenges of withdrawal and lack of adequate support, as well as the unresolved questions about potential long-term effects and permanent brain damage caused by these drugs. In the video, it is discussed that benzodiazepines act on GABA receptors in the brain, and prolonged use can lead to changes in gene expression and a decreased sensitivity to GABA, resulting in heightened central nervous system excitability and increased stress sensitivity. The existence of natural benzodiazepines, which modulate GABA activity, has been proposed, and certain substances have been found to interact with GABA receptors in the brain. Recurrence of benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms can be triggered by environmental stress, and individuals with a history of benzodiazepine use may have a lowered tolerance to stress even after stopping the drug. Benzodiazepine Withdrawal: Reinstatement, Abstinence, Nutritional Supplements, and Metabolism" discusses the challenges of benzodiazepine withdrawal, including reinstatement after withdrawal, the ineffectiveness of nutritional supplements, and the variations in drug metabolism among individuals. It emphasizes that most long-term benzodiazepine users can recover from withdrawal with time, but may experience protracted symptoms that decrease gradually.

Stress and chronic anxiety without benzos can cause brain damage so the scare factor of coming off benzos nowadays even if you've been on them for 3 Days people think they are going to withdraw for the rest of their lives the fact that that scare factor is out there makes it almost impossible for people anymore and the support groups are not so supportive either they just want you to suffer as much as they do and if you don't you're out of the group or you get bullied by them I've seen it so many times😢

Another aspect that people Overlook is that you can also stress yourself into a seizure without being on benzos, and that a lot of these people with these horror stories are people that are not addicts who have gone through different withdrawals like opiate withdrawal for example, such as myself I can take a lot of pain so I can quickly taper but people that were just patience on benzodiazepines were never supposed to feel withdrawal so once they feel it it is intensified times a million because they don't know what they're feeling when it comes to opiates on the other hand and even benzos in the addiction world it's a different story those people tend to get off of them relatively easier and don't have long-term issues probably because of the reason I just stated,
