Benzos are used to treat anxiety, and include Xanax and Trazedone. Xanax is highly addictive. Trazedone makes you feel very sleepy.
One may also experience dizziness, vision problems, grogginess, sadness, headache, poor coordination, and trembling.

Continued and long-term use of Benzodiazepines may lead to tolerance and dependence.
Benzos, when prescribed for anxiety, make the patients drowsy and incoherent, but when taken in combination with other medications, it could easily lead to an overdose.
Research has also proven that longterm use of the Benzos could lead to depression and dementia in some patients.
