warning for long-use and chronic users of all benzodiazepines plus the entire family of (now very rare) older types of sedative/hypnotic drugs listed below (this type withdrawal may be fatal !)
Applies to people who daily use any of the many benzodiazzepines (both for U.S. and Canada/UK/Europe) e.g. Valium (diazepam), Librium (chlordiazepoxide), Xanax (alprazolam), Rohypnol (flunitrazepam), Ativan (lorazepam), Klonopin/Rivotril, (clonazepam), Urbanol (clobazam), Restoril (temazepam), Halcion (triazolam), Mogadon (nitrazepam), Prosom (estazolam). Dalmane (flurazepam), Dormonoct (loprazolam), Doral (quazepam), Versed (midazolam), Centrax (prazepam), Tranxene (clorazepate dipotassium), Lexotan (bromazepam), plus the very similar thienotriazolodiazepines (Ezitest-1, Etisty) etizolam, the other research-class benzos clonazolam, brotizolam, clotiazepam, deschloroetizolam, metizolam, Serax (oxazepam). plus all the now very hard to get older sedative/hypnotics (list is not complete): all barbiturates (Seconal (secobarbital), Nembutal (pentobarbital), Tuinal (secobarbital and amobarbital), Amytal (amobarbital), phenobarbital, Fiorinal (aspirin, caffeine, butalbital), Fioricet (acetominophen, caffeine, butalbital), butalbital, Butisol (butabaarbital), Pentothal (thiopental), Brevital (methohexital), Diprivan (propofol), GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, or gamma-hydroxybutyrate, or 4-hydroxybutanoic acid, or γ-Hydroxybutyric acid, or γ-Hydroxybutyrate) and others both known by generic and brand name,-and- the myriad of non-barbiturate older sedative/hypnotic agents: Quaalude (methaqualone), Doriden (glutethimide), Noctec (chloral hydrate), Miltown (meprobamate), Soma (carisoprodol), Placidyl (ethchlorvynol), and several others I currently cannot recall {See: 'List of benzodiazepines wiki', and, 'List ol sedative-hypnotic drugs (sleeping pills) eMed' [you may disregard zopiclone, eszopiclone, zolpidem, & zalepion in regard to fatal withdrawal risk and overdose fatality risk unless mixed with other sedatives and/or ethanol (alcohol)]}. AT THIS TIME IN THE U.S. ALL BENZODIAZEPINES ARE c-iv CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES, BARBITURATES RANGE FROM BEING C-II, C-III, and C-IV and Rx only SUBSTANCES (Fioricet®), GHB AND QUAALUDE BEING C-I, AND THE MISC. NON-BARBITURATE/NONBENZODIAZEPINE AGENTS BEING PLACED IN C-III AND C-IV UNDER THE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT. CLASSICAL ONCE VERY HIGHLY EMPLOYED SHORT-ACTING BARBITURATES, MAINLY Nembutal® sodium (pentobarbital sodium) injection C-II, remains available in hospital settings under very high security, while the anesthetic induction agent Pentothal® (thiopental sodium), once almost universally used to commence anesthesia at the start of surgery (now only manufactured, and also blocked from use, as the first of 3 drugs employed in states executing persons via lethal injection), and now completely replaced by generic propofol 1% emulsion given I.V. to commence unconsciousness at the start of surgical procedures. Propofol, without logical reason, is Rx only and is not a controlled substance at all.
The risk of long-term use of the new agent suvorexant is unknown at this time.
I would like to strongly emphasize that the use of Ambien® (zolpidem tartrate), while an effective hypnotic, is highly associated with persons waking up, performing bizarre and possibly very dangerous acts, such as cooking, climbing, traveling on foot, or driving, all akin to forms of "sleep walking", and remaining utterly unremembered upon waking up. This drug is *very* strongly associated with the combination of sleep-walking/anterograde amnesia in some people at some zolpidem-induced sleep sessions. [This actually happened to myself personally the very first time I took this drug. My neighbors reported that I attempted, clumsily, to climb out of the kitchen second story window. I did not succeed (and fall 15 feet) and they called 911, where I awoke 4 hours later with no memory of what I tried to do earlier that night].
It must be mentioned that, aside from most cases of benzodiazepine overdose alone, that an overdose of many of the older family of sedative/hypnotics can be a very successful method of committing suidide or accidental death from overdose, especially when used in risky combination and/or with significant amounts of ethanol (alcohol).
Withdrawal from sedative/hypnotic drugs is the one type of withdrawal that can kill you. When you are withdrawing from usual dosing twice or more times per day, IF YOU CANNOT GET ACCESS TO SEVERAL HUNDRED DOSES SO THAT YOU CAN TAPER YOURSELF DOWN, THEN YOU SHOULD CALL 911 (in the U.S.) AND LET THE AUTHORITIES TAKE YOU TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. For your own security, since the police usually arrive before or with the paramedics, make sure that you meet them outside your locked house or apartment. Otherwise the police will often conduct a walk-through search, and if they find any paraphrenalia they can arrest you on the spot. If they ask you to enter your domicile, tell them "No, I bel8ieve in keeping my privacy." MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM NOTHING ELSE! iF YOU POSSESS PETS, MAKE SURE THAT SOMEONE COMPLETELY RELIABLE WILL COME IN AND FEED THEM AND GIVE THEM FRESH WATER EVERY DAY. (You might be hospitalized for any time up to 2-3 weeks in some cases.) Surrender to the paramedics with no incriminating things on your person, and bring no drugs, as the hospital will confiscate them and only returm them upon discharge. If you have a debit or credit card, bring that to pay the hospital to allow you to watch TV during your stay. This will save your life. The usual way one dies from sedative withdrawals is to, without any warning, go into sequential seizures called status epilepticus [one grand mal epileptic seizure after another. During this, you cannot take in a breath of oxygen. After a short time your body will enter anaerobic metabolism due to anoxia. Your heart will enter ventricular fibrillation, a type of cardiac arrest, depriving your CNS of oxygen. After 5-6 minutes of this you will become brain dead, and be pronounced dead. SEDATIVE WITHDRAWALS ARE NOT TO BE FOOLED WITH! IF YOU TAKE THIS TYPE OF DRUG, MAKE SURE THAT YOU SAVE SEVERAL 100s OF TABLETS, SO THAT IF YOU RUN OUT OF MONEY OR ACCESS, YOU CAN TAPER YOURSELF DOWN VIA A WRITTEN DOSAGE SCHEDULE THAT YOU MUST FORCE YOURSELF TO HAVE THE DISCIPLINE TO FOLLOW. If you still have access to medications, there are many ancillary drugs that will help you sleep and comfort you as you withdraw. But if the supply runs out before you reduce your intake so that you lose any tolerancce and physical dependency, then again, call 911 and finish withdrawing in the hospital as discussed above. This will keep you alive and safe, after which you can start your life over from a post-dependent state, and rebuild your life. Do not repeat taking sedatives every day. Remember that you always have the control to live any life that you choose to live.
