I'm glad it did work for you, but there are other benzodiazepines such as Valium and Klonopin that would be better suited as they have much longer half lives.
I'm sure you're right, but I didn't have anything else on hand. Plus it worked more quickly than klono, and I was in a big hurry for the feeling to end! :o)
