ANXIOLYTICS, TRANQUILIZERS, SLEEPING PILLS, DANGER OF DEATH?

The anxiolytics are very effective against stress, anxiety, insomnia ... The little (or big) problem is that the anxiolytic lead to addiction and therefore tend to be taken long term by people who use them.

Your risk of death increases if you use antianxiety

It is now demonstrated in a Canadian study: people who use anti-anxiety had a significantly increased risk of mortality. Fortunately, this increase is still modest.The survey studied between 1994 and 2007, more than 14,000 seniors from 18 to 102 years.

If you are taking anxiolytics , your mortality over 13 years (duration of the investigation) could spend (on average) from 11% to 16%.

What are the reasons for this increase in mortality anxiolytics?

Accidents may be more frequent, anxiolytics increasing reaction time, impair psychomotor coordination. Serious falls may also become more common in the elderly.
These drugs are respiratory depressants and might tend to aggravate heart or lung disease.

Anxiolytics are they really involved?

It could be that the highly anxious or sleeping very badly to be in poorer health than others, resulting in a medication Anxiolytics more frequent than among healthy people. In other words, even if these drugs sedatives, tranquilizers are involved, it could be they are a consequence of a severe disease that can lead to death rather than a direct cause of death.

Anyway, it is strongly advised not to take any anxiolytic -long term. Better a health natural psychological and healthy lifestyle rather than a chemical carrier to decrease your anxiety!
