Benzodiazepine Withdrawal Syndrome - Financial Aid For Victims

Benzodiazepine Withdrawal Syndrome - Financial Aid For Victims

The Issue

Millions of Americans are suffering from being prescribed Benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin) by their doctors.  Many of these people have such severe withdrawal symptoms when they start tapering or stop taking the drug that they become bedridden, cannot leave their house and end up having to quit their jobs.  Some people become hospitalized, have seizures and some have symptoms for years and end up committing suicide.  We must hold the pharmaceutical companies and prescribing doctors accountable.
