Benzodiazepines belong to a group of sedative drugs that have a calming effect on the central nervous system and are often highly addictive.
There are two main branches: hypnotic sedatives and anxiolytic sedatives. Hypnotic sedatives can help treat insomnia and other sleeping disorders, while anxiolytic sedatives are generally prescribed in the treatment of anxiety disorders or seizures and muscle spasms.
Some of the most commonly abused benzodiazepines are Valium, Xanax, and Klonopin. Although effective treatment options, benzodiazepines are considered habit-forming and can lead to dependence. Developing a physical dependence can then lead to substance abuse and increase your risk of overdosing.

Commonly referred to as benzo addiction, symptoms may include:
Depending on the length of the addiction, there is an increased risk of overdosing on benzodiazepines.
