Hello,
Thank you for your response. I'll add a few more of my experiences....
Diazepam... The funny thing about UK doctors is that they always prefer diazepam to other benzos because it's easier to taper from than other benzos like lorazepam. They seem to ignore the fact that it's generally thought to have a higher abuse potential due to its barbiturate-like effects.

Lorazepam... I like it because I can 'function' on it without feeling like a zombie. The amnesia has never really been a problem since I only take it occasionally.

Alprazolam... I couldn't go to work on Xanax. Feels a bit too much like I'm drunk or something... that in itself is enough to increase annxiety. Don't know why people bother to abuse it though because alcohol is a lot more fun.

Clobazam..... I didn't make me sleepy as such but certainly caused a strong feeling of cognitive impairment. I had a panic attack about an hour after I took the first dose. Yuck.

Bromazepam isn't available in the UK anymore. I guess I'd try it if I went abroad!! It used to be called Lexotan in England.

All the best...
Ed
