	RemedyFind: patient ratings of Dalmane (Flurazepam) for Bipolar II Disorder
		Dalmane (Flurazepam) is a benzodiazepine tranquilizer that is used to treat anxiety disorders.
		Unfortunately, with long-term daily use, tolerance to Flurazepam may develop, and larger doses may be needed to achieve the same beneficial effects.
		This appears to be common with all benzodiazepines, and is due to the fact that compensatory changes occur in the brainâs GABA and benzodiazepine receptors, so that the inhibitory actions of GABA and benzodiazepines are decreased.
