Benzos should only be used for anxiety really, or the occasional nights sleep.
Its a good drug if used sparingly and medicinally.
Very nasty physical dependence though. Kicking a years long habit will take almost a year.
how long have you been on benzos? do you mind taking pills everyday to help with the improvement of yer life?

Benzos are one medication I learned to respect at a very young age! When I started recreationally abusing benzos I would take 3 or 4 bars at a time, black out and wake up with no money, in some strange bed, phone gone, truck blown up. And then hear stories about crack heads, and hitting cars while driving ect... And all this in one night! Needless to say I stopped abusing benzos. I was young and crazy like many others, the thing is I have always had social anxiety, growing up and finding out how tough life can be can really take a toll on someone with GAD/ social anxiety. After going to the ER a few times thinking i was dying from what I thought was heart attacks, I found out I was having anxiety/ panic attacks. I tried to cope but the anxiety was just taking over, and destroying my quality of life! So today I take xanex, not more then .75mg to 1mg a day, it has given me my life back! Yes it is a crutch, a Band-Aid if you will, but with regular therapy and learning about how the irrational thoughts of fear lead to feelings, which then lead to actions, helps me understand how the anxiety works. Hopefully I will one day not need the xanex, but for now it is helping me live a happier life. Benzos should be respected and used properly, (as I learned the hard way) Sorry for the book just felt like sharing.

I'm on benzos since the 1990s. I quit once, 2 years, and spent a year withdrawing,. Ugh. You dont wish it on anyone.
My goal is no more benzos but I dont mind leaning on a benzo to help me se things through.

They are crutches, sometimes you need em, and benzos happen to be a very comfortable crutch.
Haldol less so, but it doesnt addict in the same way.
Haldol is great, but I want to shed that one too.

Like I said, I don't suffer from anxiety much more than anyone else. I've found that recognizing that 99% of the people around me are just as anxious as I am and just dealing with it in different ways has worked wonders for eliminating anxiety.
We're all in this together

I definitely don't think that's true. Everyone experiences anxiety to some degree, but I think a lot of people have no idea what true, debilitating anxiety is like. A lot of people I've talked to about generalized anxiety seem to have the complete wrong idea about what it is.

yeah, everyone gets anxious but when i tell people about my anxiety and how it makes me feel they are shocked. most people don't experience anxiety so debilitating that they can't leave their own fucking room.

There are many different forms and levels of anxiety. You have to realize that anxiety is fear, usually uncontrollable irrational thinking that turns into a habitual pattern of thoughts. You can try your damnedest to stop thinking your dying during a panic attack, but in my experience there is no control! You can go lay down and breath, you try everything you can but there's no stopping your mind from telling your body your dying! Living with that 2 or 3 times a week can really screw up your life.

I'm a psychotic. No really. I live with actual psychosis 24/7. I'm born that way. I'm not a schizophrenic but, i am a chronic psychotic.
Haldol, 2-3mg 2-3 hours before bedtime, helps me to stay on the rails
Psychosis isnt always pathological. It can propel you just like mania preopelled Robin Williams. Depression killed him but mania made him live.
Im mad, but I didnt lose the plot.
In low doses haldol has side effects but I oversleep those. Its like a sleeping pill that never gets tolerance.
If I can sleep at night, I can handle the day.

That's the thing isn't it, if u lost some years on your cv due to a mental illness and u tell it on job application NO ONE will hire u, who wants to employ a break down? It only spells problems for the company 
Am I right to say mental problems is even more unemployable than a conviction
