I might be in trouble with benzos. I have to take one every 20 days due to getting chest tightness/pressure. It’s just benzo withdrawal.
I had to take one a few days ago for this reason. Now I’m feeling ultra cranky. Is this ever going to end?! Gaaaaaah! 
Sorry you are going through benzo withdrawal. Calm down and just wait for a longer time. You will be OK.
Oh man, sucks. I had to take a benzo last night too. Head was all over the place.
I was given a few after ER visit. I was afraid to take them all.
Damned if you do, or if you don’t.

Zopiclone is what I take. Are they okay to take. I like taking them cos they help with my schizophrenia paranoia.
Zopiclone isn’t a benzo, but I don’t know much about it.
Doctor told me they are a better more improved than benzodiazepines. I tried tamazipam but that feel too druggy. But I can function better on zopiclone.
I’ve got trouble with benzos, I was on Klonopin for nearly all my 20’s, prescribed, until about 4 years ago when I stopped taking them which was hell, I had to be inpatient in a rehab and I went through a nightmarish two weeks in what they called the “Respite Room”. At night, of course I couldn’t sleep, I could hear the night staff guy in the next room turning the page of a newspaper like it was fingerds on a chalkboard.
So I end up moving back to my hometown to help out with this non-profit and get out of the city and I start going to this mental health center for the first time in my life and the doc there offers me Xanax and I turned it down but he sold me on starting klonopin again even after I told him about my 20’s and history of having been in recovery (mainly for drinking but Adderal had a lot to do with most of it)
So now I have this new doctor who apparently wasn’t passed any real or pertinent information from my old doctor who works down the hall from this guy. He goes on vacation for a week and doesn’t renew my refill so I’m calling the pharmacy, calling the receptionist at the center, no klonopin. I didn’t ask for this stuff in the first place, I was offered Xanax and turned it down, I’m not an addict of any sort. The withdrawl, I take 1mg 3 times a day, from this stuff after several days is debilitating, I couldn’t drive, I couldn’t sleep more than 2 or 3 hours a night, the center didn’t even tell me the doctor was away, I went 7 days without it as well as asleep until I lost complete touch with self in my kitchen and am fearing a break with reality or whatever’s going to happen next which could be anything and I get my mother to pick up my script for me and my niece walked it to my door and a half hour later I fine, no lost touch with self, ■■■■ I had 3 religions going that day and I’m not even religious, a bible out on the table, Turkish Sufi music playing on youtube and a Buddhist shrine/scroll in my den with incense burning, that’s how messed up and afraid I was.
Everyone I’ve talked to who knows that stuff KNOWS, I know one guy who had to use Suboxone to merely step down off his klonopin script. Because nobody’s ever heard of a doctor willing to help you get OFF medication. I honestly can’t live without it, it doesn’t get me high or anything, it doesn’t even seemingly have an effect unless I don’t take it for half a day or so.
Sorry, just had to vent.
i carry some diazepam for emergencies bc of anxiety.
Just ween yourself off them slowly everhopeful. Or try zopiclone, you may like it. Best of luck.
Where I live zopiclones are primarily used as a sleep aid. Are you prescribed them as an anxiolytics?
