[La...] Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 From the article: "The second type of prescription drug mostly associated with accidental overdose are Benzodiazepines - again, psychoactive drugs that have sedative, hypnotic (sleep-inducing), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), euphoric, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant properties . As such, Benzodiazepines are popular medications, useful in treating anxiety, insomnia, agitation and seizures, with common names such as Xanax, Valium and Ativan. Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger, Whitney Houston and Philip Seymour Hoffman were all found with traces of Benzodiazepines in their bodies when they died."
