Hi Kev
Perhaps I shouldn't say this but........
I've never found benzos particularly helpful for anxiety. Sometimes they've helped a bit, other times they've made me forgetful, clumsy, ADDish and generally useless - aggravating my anxiety considerably. Low doses in particular (eg. less that 10mg diazepam) tend to aggravate my anxiety.
......I do however enjoy taking the occasional benzo to 'chill out' on an evening. When I'm not feeling anxious, when I don't have to work on anything, taking a benzo can be pleasant....
I don't take benzos very often. Probably once every few months. I don't want to risk withdrawal symptoms.
30mg diazepam can be pleasant on an evening ;-) I also like temazepam. Xanax is nothing special for me.
Regards
Ed
PS. Warning to the un-initiated. Don't go out and take 30mg diazepam. It might knock you out - so to speak. I'm relatively resistant to the effects of benzos myself.
PPS. If anyone was thinking of scolding me - please restrain yourself. Taking the occasional benzo to relax is little different to getting home from work, putting your feet up and having a glass of wine.
