Need some input
I have struggled with anxiety and panic disorder my entire life to the point where it makes my life not worth living. I am in the process of trying to get better and find the right medication/therapy steps for myself to life the best life I can given these circumstances.
I have never taken a Benzo but have done some research on them and might talk with my doc about them.
My question for you all is, I am aware of the addiction risk that comes with these drugs and hear a lot of the bad, but is there anybody who these drugs at the prescribed dose has helped? (For context I am not chasing high I am strictly talking about prescribed dosing) I have taken ssri and snri medications whitch the side effects were awful and I cannot do those meds and am currently on buspar but it doesn’t do much so am debating giving benzos a shot.
