Dear Chairs and Committee members,

 

I certify that the following statement applies to me.

“Benzodiazepines taken as prescribed have greatly harmed me or my loved ones. I/they have experienced some or all of these symptoms as a result of taking this class of drug for longer than several weeks: increased (or rebound) depression, anxiety, or insomnia which was worse than any baseline symptomatology, cognition/memory dysfunction, agoraphobia, digestive issues, nerve problems, movement disorder, sensory issues, psychosis, paranoia, rage, balance problems and/or other problems. I know benzodiazepines either caused these issues for me or either greatly exacerbated them over time. Tapering was/is/ or seems extremely difficult for me. I was never given truly informed consent about these drugs by my prescribers. I strongly support the passing of Bill H. 3594 An Act Relative to Benzodiazepine and Non- Benzodiapine Hypnotics”.
