So what is the benzo drug?

Quoted from WebMD, benzo or benzodiazepines are categorized as psychoactive drugs. Generally, benzodiazepine drugs are given to patients who are diagnosed with psychiatric disorders and experience anxiety disorders, seizures, or insomnia.

When consumed, benzodiazepines can cause a feeling of comfort and have a drowsy effect. When used in the right dosage, this drug does not actually have a hallucinatory effect on its users.

Several types of drugs that are included in the benzodiazepine group and are often misused include Xanax (Alprazolam) or Valium (Diazepam). There is also a type of benzo that is commonly consumed as a sleeping pill, namely Dumolid (Nitrazepam). By doctors, benzodiazepine drugs are used to treat various complaints related to anxiety disorders. Use without a doctor's prescription is categorized as abuse and can be punished.
