Benzodiazepines - what does this mean
Benzodiazepines are a class of drugs that act on the central nervous system to produce calming effects. they work by increasing the activity of a neurotransmitter called gaba, which helps to reduce anxiety and induce relaxation. benzodiazepines are typically prescribed to treat anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and alcohol withdrawal, and may be taken in pill form, by injection, or as a topical cream.
What happens during the disease - benzodiazepines
Benzodiazepines are a type of drug that act on the central nervous system to produce a calming effect. they work by increasing the activity of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (gaba), which is responsible for inhibiting the activity of neurons in the brain. this increased activity of gaba leads to a decrease in neuronal activity, resulting in a sedative effect. long-term use of benzodiazepines can lead to tolerance, dependence, and addiction.
