Benzodiazepine Side Effects

I have been talking diazepam and sometimes xanax for about 5 years, usually to relax and help me sleep, but the odd time they would make you feel angry and a bad temper, anyone else have this issue?

I blame my anger on the guy running our Country, but perhaps you might need a mood stabilizer like an SSRI? Talk with your Doc

That is a known side effect of Benzodiazepines, along with nausea, headache, and the risk of being habit forming.

It really depends on how severe it is, some people have to stop taking them, and switch to an alternative class of medications. I experienced that side effect from Xanax, but did okay on the Diazepam, when I took them for anxiety.

How often does this occur?

It's not the meds it’s the anger. Anger management for all Democrats. Revert to the world's best republicans and save urself and medication. It’s a win win.

This guy eddy is all over this site bashing the president. He has a serious issue for love of country and clearly medicated incorrectly. Dude why not go to Mexico or Canada? Perhaps that will take care of your issues. Trump 2020.

I've been on a low dose of xanex .25 mg a day for 3 years n have the same symptom. If you Google side effects from xanex withdrawal or use you will find other possible symptoms you may be having. Such as trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, trouble concentrating, and a host of others. I thought there was something wrong with me because my cognitive impairment was so severe can barely function on a daily basis. After I realized it was a side effect of Xanax,among others, I am now trying to get off completely. I strongly urge you to go to multiple sites and read up on benzodiazepine or xanax withdrawal symptoms or side effects of the drug. It would at least make you feel that what you're experiencing is normal and be better informed on how to move forward. The drive was never meant for long-term use but sadly doctor's rarely informed me of this until it's too late.
