What Are Common Benzodiazepines?

Benzodiazepines seem to have been discovered in the 1950s. This type of medication is intended to affect the central nervous system. They should produce a calming effect by attaching to the brain's GABA-A receptors. Doctors may only prescribe them for the short-term, as they want to reduce the potential for dependency. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, weakness, and confusion. There seem to be, however, many other potential side effects.
