In her article Temma Ehrenfeld says,
"We've heard plenty about the opioid epidemic. But there's another less recognized prescription drug problem: benzodiazepines like Ativan, Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin. While doctors are prescribing fewer painkillers, prescriptions for these anti-anxiety drugs are still going up."
This article discusses the dangers of benzos and how they are often being overprescribed leading to abuse.
