In reply to What does taking a benzo actually feel like?, posted by Meri-Tuuli on August 25, 2006, at 9:13:32
Hi!
Taking Xanax for me is like having a glass or two of wine, but without the feeling of overall relaxation of the muscles throughout my body. Drinking alcohol gives me a rubbery feeling and a definite lack of coordination.
I currently take less clonazepam than was originally prescribed. .5mg at bedtime and .5mg in the morning. It's been a miracle for my symptoms of OCD, GAD and SP.
I'm sad to hear it is not more easily available for you. After researching benzos and deciding clonazepam was probably the med for me, I asked my doctor and he didn't balk at prescribing it. So, perhaps you could do some more reading on them, take some notes and and go in as if you have made an informed decision on what you want and maybe...
Good luck!
Colleen
p.s. Where in the UK are you? My mom is Irish and all of our relatives are in Yorkshire.
