Benzodiazepines are a class of drugs that can cause physical dependence. If you have been abusing this class of substances in Alabama, therefore, it is highly likely that you might become dependent on them.
Dependence will typically start after you have developed tolerance to benzodiazepine. When this happens, you will have to take the drug in higher doses or more often than you used to before you can feel its pleasurable effects.
After you are physically dependent on the drug, you will experience withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking it altogether or if you significantly reduce the dose of the drug that you have gotten accustomed to. These symptoms will appear whether you have been taking benzodiazepine with a prescription or without one.
Due to these withdrawal symptoms - some of which can be intense - as well as its addictive nature, doctors will not prescribe benzodiazepine for use in the long term. However, you might still develop physical dependence even with short term use.
Benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms are emotionally and physically painful. They can even prove to be life-threatening especially if you stop this drug abruptly or try to quit cold turkey.
If you have a history of using benzodiazepines in high doses or in the long term, there is a high risk that you will experience the worst of these symptoms of withdrawal. Even so, these symptoms tend to be variable and may come and go. Further, they may vary in frequency and severity throughout the withdrawal process.
The most common of these symptoms are known as rebound symptoms. They will manifest 1 to 4 days after you stop taking benzodiazepine. However, they will largely depend on the frequency of drug use, the amount of drugs that you were using, and the types of benzodiazepines that you were taking. These symptoms will typically last for about 10 days. They include but are not limited to:
It is also possible to experience other symptoms of withdrawal. These symptoms are less common but they tend to be more severe in nature. They will typically manifest themselves if you have been struggling with a severe substance use disorder involving this class of drugs. they include:
Doctors will typically prescribe benzodiazepines for the treatment of such mental health disorders as insomnia and generalized anxiety disorder. If you stop using these drugs after developing tolerance and dependence, you may experience restlessness and increased anxiety. This condition is known as the rebound effect of benzodiazepines.
These rebound effects will include insomnia and anxiety. They will typically last for anywhere between 2 and 3 days. The main difference between withdrawal symptoms and rebound effects is that the effects will involve a return to the symptoms that you used to display before you started using these drugs. withdrawal symptoms, on the other hand, will appear because your body would be struggling to adapt to the lack of benzodiazepines in the system. This is why addiction treatment for benzodiazepine abuse is recommended in Alabama.
