Benzodiazepines can be very effective in treating the symptoms of problems such as anxiety, stress and insomnia. However, the
underlying cause will remain and it may become necessary to find other ways to deal with these problems. Rather than continuing to use benzodiazepines, try to identify situations (stressors) that cause the stress, anxiety or insomnia. Dealing with these issues and stressors may remove the need for you to use benzodiazepines.
