Xanax (anxiolytic addiction and withdrawal)
Anxiolytics have been promoted as non-addicting benzodiazepines. Are people being mislead about the benefits versus burdens of benzodiazepines? Psychiatric drugs taken long-term alter your brain chemistry. This can create serious withdrawl symptoms. Psychiatric drugs are highly addicting. Withdrawal from these drugs can leave you with symptoms 10 times what the symptoms you began taking the drugs in the first place. Psychiatry has a vested interested in people taking drugs because they do not therapy anymore. Psychiatry is all about prescribing medications and so if they help you to get off the medication they are rendering themselves unnecessary for you and therefore could lose patients and money and the reason that they are consulted at all. Biopsychiatry has left therapy up to the psychologists now.
