It’s been my meds for complex partial seizures. It just turned into my don’t make me choke your new wife meds about 5 years ago as well. It makes life safe for everyone.
Personally, it’s the only medication that has worked for me with regards to my anxiety, depression and Ocd. All is right when I take it. Yet I cannot find a doctor to give it to me on a regular basis.

It’s the new fear of benzo’s I guess which is stupid because the medication hasn’t changed. Attitudes have changed. I’m more addicted to my tea in the morning than that.
Yes..the new ‘crisis’ is benzos. Do you take them every day? Do you feel that you could go without them if you had to?

I take 1-2mg in the morning and 2mg at bedtime. I have gone without them often. Every year under doctors supervision we wean off a week and then none for a week and I have an EEG. My brain is too electrical. I still hope for the day I can go three months with a quiet EEG. During the weaning week I make sure I’m not put in an anxious situation on purpose. I won’t be accepting tickets to the ball 🥳😆 but I feel fine. I get a little light-headed sometimes but I also have lupus so who knows. The week I’m off I have no problems unless people are rude. My mouth starts five minutes before my brain. That’s not nice.
I get it. I guess our situations are different. I have persistent anxiety...
Hello I have been taking it as needed for the last 2 1/2 years. Lately it hasn't been working though.
