About Extended Benzodiazepines
What Are Extended Benzodiazepines?
Extended benzodiazepines are depressants, commonly known by the product names of Restoril, Serax, Nordaz, Ativan, Halcion, Rohypnol, and many others. These are prescribed for the treatment of anxiety, panic attacks, seizures, or sleeping disorders. However, due to their sedative effects, many benzos are also abused as a date rape drug. Although frequently portrayed by the entertainment industry as an innocuous drug to promote relaxation in times of stress, the documentary As Prescribed uncovers the real life devastation of benzodiazepine drug abuse and addiction.
