Benzodiazepines

Benzodiazepines are widely used in the treatment of anxiety, sleep, depression (as adjuvant therapy), and as muscle relaxants. While there are benefits associated with the short-term utilization of benzodiazepines, these medications are associated with both short and long-term adverse consequences. Despite these risk and recommendations that treatment with benzodiazepines be limited to short-term use, the prevalence of long-term use remains widespread.
