Assignment: Anxiety And Benzodiazepines

Please describe GABA, its role in anxiety and benzodiazepines. What words of caution are prudent when discussing benzodiazepines?  Post must be a minimum of 150 words, scholarly written, APA formatted, and referenced. A minimum of 2 references is required (other than your text).

hint {When benzodiazepines are prescribed, universal precautions should be applied to minimize the risk of dependence and diversion, because benzodiazepines are very addictive. These include having one prescriber, dose limits, controlled scripting, and consideration of urine drug testing. Repeat prescriptions for benzodiazepines should not generally be provided without a clinical review.}
