Many thousands of people in the Netherlands suffer from stress, anxiety, worry, restlessness and a feeling of emptiness. Their (general) physicians prescribe sleeping tablets and sedatives. The most commonly prescribed drugs are valium, Rohypnol, Seresta, etc. This type of medication is also available via the internet and is classified under the group of benzodiazepines (Benzos) or tranquillisers. Many users of these prescription drugs are women. The drugs have a numbing effect on the brain and on the central nervous system and help you relax and calm down.
General
physicians often prescribe these drugs for extended periods of time.
Drugs that are used to combat psychosocial problems are generally
prescribed for a period between 12 to 20 years.
Prescription drugs
help suppress problems, which makes users feel that they can deal
with life again. However, these drugs do not solve the underlying
problems.
Prescription drugs become less effective over time and you will need to take more of them to achieve the same effect. The active constituents in these prescription drugs are very addictive. Giving up these drugs will result in very unpleasant effects both mentally and physically, which then increases the urge to continue taking the drugs. In addition, giving up the drugs will make you aware of the fact that the underlying problems are still there.
Long-term use of prescription drugs can alter your personality and numb emotions such as love, happiness and enjoyment. You are irritable, restless and nervous. You show less interest in other things and you become indifferent. This often leads to problems with family members, relatives, friends and colleagues. Your life has lost its vibrancy. The muscle relaxing and numbing effect of prescription drugs increases the risk of incidents and negatively affects your responses and ability to concentrate, which leads to a higher risk of traffic incidents, among other things.
The addictive effect of prescription drugs and the consequences of the long-term use of these drugs are often seriously underestimated. In many cases, the cure is in fact worse than the underlying problem.
