yeah great short acting drugs that help with anxiety and moving into sleep!
Pros and cons.
Cons. Addictive but you have a serious mental illness. You do the math on that one as it depends on how you use them.
Had a grand mal coming off of xanax once and that really sucked balls. Woke up in an ambulance with no idea how I got there…and I wasn’t on that much.
It gives and it takes. Use them sparingly and they are an absolute savoir for anxiety.
Eat them regularly and it’s akin to being a junky!
What works for you…

did you ever take any higher doses for more serious times so to speak?

Don’t feel stupid, Benzos are very addictive.
hey,
I took 1mg but would do more a day! I’d think like four a day…
Don’t get into it and it’s a good choice…you do better off them and there’s strategies to learn that will help you better with dealing with stuff.
They have a really good place for some sufferers but if you can build you life without them it’s so much better!

I don’t like benzos.especially klonopin.I’ve been taking them for five years at 0.5 a tab. I don’t abuse it because I don’t like the way they make me feel. I can go without them.
hey,
Titrate down. ie take a little less every day.
Our meds can lower the seizure threshold…it’s not much fun having a grand mal.
Take a little less every day and come off slowly…it really is the way to go with every psych med.
They still have their place and help a lot of folks…they just can be addictive for sure.
A friend in the struggle,

Keep an eye out for withdrawals. Mine was tinnitus that started with a buzzing then morphed into music and noises

I refused! Though I took Valium
Only med I ever really said “I can’t take this crap anymore!!” Was when I was in rehab and I said “NO MORE CLOZARIL”. After I slept 20 hours a day and ate the other 4.
I wish i could sleep forever
