If you are one of the tens of millions of people around the world taking Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, Ativan, or any other anti-anxiety drugs in a class called benzodiazepines, you might want to consider a healthier, natural alternative known as niacinamide.

Benzodiazepenes have been linked to some very serious side effects, ranging from mild cognitive dysfunction to extreme addiction to death. In the 1990's, statistics show that there were more benzo-related deaths than deaths from heroin, morphine, and cocaine combined.

Studies show that benzos can become highly addictive within just 4 weeks, and once addicted, it is quite difficult and can even be dangerous to end use of the medication even when weaned off slowly over several years. Also, in long-term usage, they can actually increase the psychiatric and anxiety-related problems they were meant to help.

So how about a healthy alternative? Not only one that can work as well or better than benzos without the dangerous side effects and with a similar mechanism of action, but one that has also shown in clinical studies to significantly decrease withdrawal effects from benzos.

So what is this new miracle drug? It's not a drug. It's a vitamin.

i have a strong feeling you've never experienced or fail to comprehend the full spectrum and severity of the complexity of acute anxiety disorder (suggesting vitamins as viable alternative means you're out of your league, and the message is irresponsible and at best misguided).
