Beschreibungen/Notizen
Understanding and addressing the current opioid crisis requires knowledge of endogenous
opioids (endorphins and enkephalins), but there is now evidence for a benzodiazepine
crisis. Are there endogenous benzodiazepine-like substances-and what do they do? How do
they affect the antianxiety drugs and their adverse effects? Do they explain the
enigmatic prolonged benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome? Naturally Occurring
Benzodiazepines, Endozepines, and their Receptors: Implications for Benzodiazepine
Therapy and Withdrawal raises important questions about the clinical
consequences of ignoring the existence of or understanding the potential influence of
endogenous benzodiazepines on the therapeutic effect of benzodiazepines, their adverse
effects, and the problems of withdrawal from them and other benzodiazepine receptor
agonists.
Key Features:
Discusses endogenous benzodiazepine-like substances-what do they do, and do
they affect the antianxiety drugs and their adverse effects?
Presents information on the enigmatic prolonged benzodiazepine withdrawal
syndrome
Describes the compounds acting at the BDZ binding sites, both exogenous
(classical BDZ drugs and BDZ from food and plants) and endogenous
(endozepines)
Assesses the putative interactions in physiology, pathology, and pharmacology
of the compounds acting at the BDZ binding sites
