Personal Benzo Story Christy
My name is Christy, and I am 44 years old. I was first placed on my first benzodiazepines when I was 24 years old. I received the prescriptions from my family doctor for digestive issues.
My doctor told me he believed the cause for these digestive symptoms was anxiety. Over the years, my body became more and more tolerant to the benzodiazepines. As a result, my dosages of the medications continued to climb.
