FEATURE: Withdrawal Symptoms of the Head and Neck

 

Introduction


In today’s intro, I rambled on a bit about my favorite place, Disneyworld and Disneyland. It was a bit embarrassing but honest. Those of us with anxiety are always seeking out an escape from the incessant craziness of our minds. For me, I could often find the escape in thinking about my favorite place.

 

Mailbag


What’s the difference: Z-drugs, benzos, sedatives? Which is alprazolam? — I provided some clarification about the different terms and defined the classes of benzos, including benzodiazepines and nonbenzodiazepines (Z-drugs), and shared a bit of information on both.
