Tranquilisers (I think they break them down into sedative and hypnotic, dont quote me on that). eg Xanax, valium, these are benzosQuote:

Proabably a relative of Valium which is also known as diazapam. If I'm not mistaken there is a version of the PDR (physicians desk reference) out on the web somewhere and if dad is a doc, he probably has one laying around somewhere.
yeah valiums are diazapam. the temaze is temazepam. and he takes both of these. im gettin abit worriedQuote:

On the contrary, I believe these are also members of the opiate family and are highly addictive. Valium was the " mothers little helper" mentioned in the Stones tune and was passed out like candy back in the 50's and 60's to stressed out housewives, most of whom ended up in some kind of rehab. Today, it's Prozac which is probably even worse. Doctors are some of the most common abusers of prescription drugs due to the amount of stress they are under with high patient volumes and easy access.Quote:

Not knowing the details of your situation, all I can say is good luck, ride the bus and move out when you can. And don't give up on your folks. If you need someone to vent on in private, my email is in my sig.
