I use to take 1mg Lorazepam PRN if I had some anxiety but I am now on 1.5mg of clonazepam for insomnia which also acts as an anxiolytic so I have virtually no anxiety. If I drink to much coffee too quickly I might get some anxiety in which case I take 100mg of l-theanine.

Does anyone know if benzos just cause a stoned feeling? I’m surprised people can still get them.

What will you take of not benzos? My place I go to doesn’t prescribe them to anyone at all

That’s the first time I heard clozapine was being used as a prn. Does it help you?

I think it helps.
When cameras were watching,
I upped dose from 300mg to 400mg,
I waited for 2 or 3 days,
and finally it kicked in.

I use several PRNs for my schizophrenia. I also have PRNs for a couple other conditions I have.

PRNs for schizophrenia: Sometimes I use an antiparkinsonia drug. Sometimes I use one or another of an antianxiety drug,. Sometimes I use some of a nonamphetamine stimulant. Other times I use an antipsychotic.

I take 25 mg of clozapine. It sedates me a bit and makes me calmer. So, it helps when things aren’t going well.

I have Vistaril 25 mg, I take up tp 4 depending how bad the anxiety is. It doesn’t really work all that well. I also take Ativan for highway driving/trips 2mg there and 2mg back depending how long the drive is. For really long drives I would take more.

I have sza bipolar type
