Long-Term Side Effects of Benzodiazepines
Taking benzodiazepines in the long term may lead to some worse side effects. These include loss of libido, extreme confusion, depression, inability to feel pleasure, the fear of public or open areas, acute anxiety, and social phobias. Some paradoxical side effects may also happen, meaning that you would have an opposite response to the medication than you previously experienced. If you have any of these problems, make sure to discuss with your healthcare provider to get the best advice and make proper changes on dosages or better alternatives. [6]
