Did you know? ...in most cases, benzodiazepines are not intended to be taken for longer than 30 days. ...benzos can create physical dependence in just a few weeks. ...unassisted withdrawal can be deadly. Benzodiazepine Induced Neurological Dysfunction (BIND) is a brain injury that results from the cessation of benzodiazepine drugs like Xanax. It's a mouthful to say! It's a BITCH to live with! BIND is not commonly known, not even by prescribing physicians. Benzo withdrawal symptoms can easily be mistaken for other conditions. The constellation of both physical and psychological symptoms can be more severe if you quit taking your benzo without following a physician-monitored taper schedule based on your tolerance. BIND symptoms can last for months, years, and even decades after cessation. It's time to find some answers! Take the time to do your own research, inventory and monitor your symptoms, and become your own advocate so you can start your healing journey.
