Benzodiazepines and nonbenzodiazepines (z-drugs) are some of the most popular medications ever created. Unfortunately, they are also some of the most addictive. Better known by their brand names such as Ambien, Ativan, Klonopin, Lunesta, Valium and Xanax, these drugs can cause physical dependence in as little as two weeks and withdrawal can be a debilitating, life-altering ordeal which can last months, even years.

The truth is that millions of people take these drugs every day, and yet very few know anything about them.

Our goal is to help change that.
