Valium Addiction Exposed

"When the minor tranquilizers Librium and Valium came on the market in the early 1960s, they were so widely prescribed that an estimated 10% of Americans had taken these or similar tranquilizers by 1987. No one was warned that the drugs were addictive within 14 days of taking them or that withdrawal could be harder than coming off heroin. Epileptic seizures and death could occur if the drugs were suddenly stopped. CCHR and other patients’ rights groups issued warnings and successfully worked to obtain the right of patients to give informed consent for these drugs. A series of suits also established the right to refuse treatment."
