> I don't think we talk about the same med, cause for me addiction, withdrawh effects between each dose, lost of cognitives abilities as well as worse anxiety after some months on that med and the not ending increasement of the dose to the point who you reach a high dose and can't stop it even if it's not working anymore, for all these reasons, I rank the benzo meds (all of them) in the worse med category. I don't wish that to my worse ennemy.
_____________________I agree that the drug was pretty hard to get off of and yes, it did cause me a lot of anxiety when I missed a dose or two, but it was an absolute Godsend when I needed it. I was on it for about 4-5 years and it really helped and I never really did build up a tolerance to it. I just went off it when it became a hinderance to go to the psych every 3 months to get a refill--is a narcotic in the U.S. and they really monitor the usage. While I am happy to be off of it, I would go back on it in a minute should life throw me a curveball that I can't manage. But, the meds that work for one person may be a nightmare to another. I hope you found one that works better for you.
