[sh...] Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Hi: Does anyone know the statistics on other health issues for benzo addicts? I would think that with all the suffering going on during withdrawal that it would take its toll on the body physically. I know I am not sleeping well during withdrawal and I would think it would take its toll. I read somewhere that sleeping pills cause serious shortening of the life span. Not much we can do about that, I guess. I guess most of us will make it to recovery, but I would think that there should be more restrictions on the use of pills based on these data alone. Tranquillizers are anything but tranquil. I had a severe cortisol rush once and I thought my heart was going to erupt from my chest. Normal people just seem to think that it is okay and no big deal, but something needs to be done about these medicines. Good luck to everyone.
