In reply to What does taking a benzo actually feel like?, posted by Meri-Tuuli on August 25, 2006, at 9:13:32
Hi Meri!
A benzodiazepine is a treatment for anxiety.
I am not entirely sure in your situation. Once you took a benzo it is very likely that you're no more willing to stop the benzo treatment later. Benzos do not have many sideeffects except memory, reaction problems. It could be a problem if you want to study or read difficult things. The opposite is possible e.g. people with a lot of anxiety are just able to concentrate without thoughts blowing in their brain. Maybe there are other treatment possibilities. I can't give you many personal experience of drugs like ssris, benzos because I never used them constantly. I am not sure myself about most of these drugs. Sometimes it seems to me like an alchemie.
You have probably something like a neurosis of germs, cleaning things more than needed. Everbody has neurosis. Some people have a little more neurosis than normal. It's "normal". When you will go home and work it's possible that you forget cleaning things always or you will loose other concomitant anxieties.
I think sharing personal experience is the best way
for you to have a better, clear picture about many drugs. And there are a lot of people here sharing their experiences. That's the positive thing.sdb
