Drug that steals women's lives ... Valium still given to millions?

Drug that steals women's lives: It's more addictive than heroin, with horrifying side-effects. So why, 50 years after its launch, is Valium still given to millions?

With her wedding day fast approaching, Baylissa Fredericks was increasingly worried about a tic in her eyelid. She'd suffered the problem since early childhood, but was so concerned about it drawing attention to her for all the wrong reasons on her big day that she visited her GP.

Sadly, the drug prescribed by her doctor on that day in 1998 for what, in retrospect, seems like a trivial problem, left the 49-year-old housebound and incapacitated for years.

Baylissa was prescribed clonazepam, one of the benzodiazepine family of drugs. These drugs are used by 1.5 million people in this country to treat wide-ranging problems including anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, muscle spasms, restless legs syndrome and alcohol withdrawal.

The legacy of benzodiazepines is a vast group of people suffering appalling withdrawal symptoms

One of the first - and most infamous - of the ‘benzos’ was Valium. Launched in the 1960s it quickly became the pill for every ill,

Thank You Maria. This could clear information to Ornela. Will see what to do or not to do next within next week. Take care of Y.  Volim te.

I was reading Your posts. All OK. Biomagnetiszm as therapy could work. Will see if Acu points in Shaitsu tell something. Could Coded self suggestive thoughts work on curing addict I can not try as not on drugs. But on pains I tested it and it seams to work well. Much better then copper bracelets. After session pain disappear. Already wrote Y about.

I do not know whether You've understood my explanation how I'm doing it. If not tel to repeat.

If Y know someone who is on heavy drugs not to deep in to understand and try the coded messaging ?

You may try among a group if there any. I will try this with Ornela. May be this week.

The things develop so fast I can not follow all. So I have left the social politic theme. Today picked some laurel branches to dry leaves. grind into powder and mix it with tobacco. Why? There should be a reason why the Cesar wearing laurel crown as tobacco came from Natives.

Valium or Librium - all of these so-called "antidepressants" have long term deadly addictive effects.  Get off them - don't use them at all.  If a Doctor offers them - refuse them as well as all of the SSRI drugs such as prozac, paxil, effexor etc.

Valium is not an anti-depressant dude, it's a benzodiazapine, big difference, it doesn't work on seratonin or depression but dopamine (as I recall) and is an anti-anxiety drug - and I should know as they have me prescribed to  2 anti-depressants (the citaloprams straight garbage but mirtazapines awesome, especially for sleeping/dreams) and a beta-blocker , all just my experiences but they won't prescribe me any benzos,, primarily as they think like the majority of you that I'm gonna get hooked on them but they're just not all that recreational next to using to avoid panic attacks at work etc. Been using them as and when for years and years. Personally I find after smoking weed to long that shit has me bashing my head against a paranoia brick wall unless already drunk way more than any med, which just goes to show some of our heads are just wired differently I guess. Chamomile tea is a must over coffee for stressheads imho, thanks for the Catnip tip - tried most of the other stuff, St Johns, Passionflower, Valerian, Kalms etc etc nada like valium for tics n OCD, soz

Four Antipsychotic Medications Still Prescribed Even Though Found to be Ineffective and Dangerous

Natural & Herbal Anxiety Remedies

  • Catnip

Catnip is a unique herbal anxiety remedy. Part of the mint family, catnip is designed to treat many of the various symptoms of anxiety. It may be used to alleviate stomach cramps, spams, and irritations (which often occur in those with anxiety). It may also reduce some of the headaches caused by insomnia, improve appetite, and – perhaps most importantly – ease muscle tension and stress in those with severe anxiety.

  • Chamomile

Chamomile is a natural sedative that is best for mild anxiety.

Chamomile is used to calm nervousness, both in the mind and in the stomach. It can reduce digestive discomforts and improve appetite in those with a great deal of stress.

It has also been linked to reducing headaches and improving liver and lung health. Most experts recommend that chamomile only be used as a temporary treatment, not a long term solution. Chamomile is also popular for anxiety in children.

  • Fennel

Fennel isn't for anxiety specifically, but it is linked to treating some of the most common symptoms of anxiety, including digestion, coughing (many with anxiety have a nervous cough), and asthma (anxiety can exacerbate asthma symptoms). It may also act as an analgesic, diuretic, and antispasmodic – the latter being useful for some types of anxiety.

  • Kava Kava

Kava (also known as Kava Kava) is possibly the most effective herbal supplement for moderate and severe anxiety. The Kava root has been extensively researched for its effects on stress, anxiety, and insomnia. Unlike other herbal anxiety supplements, kava is not only effective for anxiety symptoms – it's effective for anxious thoughts as well. However, kava has been linked to a few health scares, so it's advised to talk to your doctor before taking kava, especially if you drink alcohol, take any other medicines, or have any liver problems.

  • Hops

Hops is useful for more than just beer. Hops has a long history of medicinal applications. It's used to fight insomnia, stress, and headaches. It's also beneficial for indigestion, general nervousness, and may help reduce fever.

Hops has also been used for lowering uric acid levels in the body, treating infections and skin disorders, and provide some relief from rheumatism, though these are often unrelated to anxiety.

  • Motherwort

Motherwort's primary medicinal use is for treating menstrual discomfort. But it is also favored by pregnant women as a way to manage stress and pregnancy tension and anxiety. It's not recommended for those in the first two trimesters, but it is believed to be effective at stimulating circulation without an increase in pulse rate, lowering blood pressure, fighting heart palpitations, and inducing calmness without any associated fatigue.

  • Passionflower

Passionflower is a lot like Kava, except without the side effects. Passionflower is considered best for mild to moderate anxiety, although it may still be valuable for severe anxiety. It works by reducing muscle tension and insomnia, calming the nerves to prevent agitation, mood swings, headaches, and hot flashes from anxiety. It's not recommended to take passionflower if you are using any MAOIs.

  • Skullcap

Skullcap has sedative, tonic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Skullcap may be used to sooth overly twitching muscles, and may help manage both epilepsy and restless leg syndrome (RLS). Many people use the natural sedative properties of skullcap to fight insomnia, restlessness, rapid heartbeat, and even depression. It should be taken as directed, and should not be used by pregnant women.

  • St. John's Wort

St. John's Wort is not designed for anxiety specifically, but it is very effective for fighting depression, which is often comorbid with anxiety symptoms. St. John's Wort is also an effective mood lifter. It has also been used for diarrhea, gastroenteritis, viral infections of the chest, lungs, and genitals, and many other valuable medicinal uses.

  • Valerian Root

Valerian Root is an incredible effective sedative. It's used primarily as a sleep aid, but the sedative qualities of valerian are effective at soothing muscles and reducing mental and physical tension so that you can easily relax. It may also be used to relieve uterine cramps, persistent coughs, and bronchial spasms. It is not recommended for children under 12, pregnant women, or anyone taking other antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs.

Thank You Tara !
