I consider myself somewhat of a guinea pig when it comes to benzo's.Currently I am on 6mgs a day of Klonopin and found it has never given me depression and doesnt make me sleepy.I basically don't feel anything.The thing thats happening is my anxiety and panic is under full control.A lot of times ,speaking real, some people look for that sorta "high"that overcomes them to control anxiety.I believe those that do this are setting themselves up for hardship.At first I understand people need help but I also understand you need to not have that high feeling,and need a little anxiety to be able to work through it by using self-talk.Xanax to me will be abused the most..... obviously.Its like you become a slave to that pill,carrying them wherever you go etc.
I found myself almost after being diagnosed being reliant on Xanax too much.i realized I was using anxiety as an excuse.I was being reactive to my pain instead of proactive.I think Frued said we put ourselves like that...we keep ourselves sick...to get attention,understanding etc.Its like when most people catch a cold they really consume themselves with being sick and really dont want to get better.People are doing everything for them so....it feels goood to be taken care of.I guess it goes back to childhhood,having your mom be there for you.I dont know these are my ramblings......Klonopin is really the best med IMO.Withdrawl from these meds can be unpleasnt so you have to look at that aspect down the road.
