The benzodiazepines enhance the action of the neurotransmitter, GABA(Gamma Amino Butyric Acid). Neurotransmitters are chemicals which enable the brain cells to transmit impulses from one to another. They are released from brain cells by electrical signals. Once released, the neurotransmitters signal inhibition or excitation of neighboring brain cells.
GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter. The function of GABA is to slow or calm things down. Benzodiazepines increase the efficiency of GABA, thus causing greater inhibition or calming.

all those medecine are addicting as benzodiazepin may be; you have to increase the amount, otherwise the body is waiting for the stuff, legs are moving nervously, brain working.
The only way to take a break is to go on holliday in the nature, to make exercice.
For me no miracle these last years, its just commercial innovations...
I hope not to finish as a wreck because on the mornig I have great difficulty to wake up have big dose, and people think Im lazzy.
But if I take nothing, I dont sleep at all.
+SIDE EFFECTS : loss of memory and confusion
So if you can avoid, take that only some days and stop immediatly.

Yeah, it's meant to stem panic attacks. I haven't taken it, but I dispense it on a daily basis (Legally; I work in a pharmacy (-;)
I imagine that it mellows you out, by making physical movements a lot more fluid and easier to execute, just like or similar to alcohol. It is also known to cause addictions, so all should watch out.

It takes away your sense of reality. It messes you up to the point where you don't care about much of anything. You could care less about your anxiety when your on it, but you will care less about everything else as well. I was once on it and it is a very highly addictive drug, use wisely.

It's usually prescribed for anxiety. It works like a sedative, makes you very relaxed and/or sleepy.

it's like drinking alcohol without the effects of: you're mellow, horny, relaxed, nothing bothers you--someone could tell you someone just stole your car, your house is burning down and maybe a relative died and you're like, 'cooool.'
