Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Benzodiazepines. Brand names: Ativan, Centrax, Dalmane, Klonopin, Librium, Paxipam, Restoril, Serax, Tranxene, Valium, Xanax. Used to treat panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and social phobia. They are extremely habit-forming and long-term use is not recommended because it can lead to dependence and withdrawal reactions when stopped. Never stop taking these meds suddenly if you have been using them for more than two weeks; you must taper off slowly. These medications should be taken under proper supervision by a medical professional. Side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, headache, and nausea. Do not mix with other medication without discussing potential hazards with your doctor. Do not operate machinery or heavy equipment if you are taking these prescriptions.
