Due to other health issues I was a mess. No appetite, trouble sleeping. Always a racing mind and the feeling of anxiousness all the time making me sick. My first dose was like the miracle drug. Within 30 minutes or so I started to feel much better, in fact I really didn't notice I was feeling better until I thought about it. It brought back my appetite and helps me fall asleep and stay sleeping. My mind is not racing anymore either. My concern is stopping this drug. I've heard nightmare stories about withdrawing off of this drug, if abused. But if you take it for more than 6 months, you're already "addicted" to it and WILL get severe withdrawals if you stop suddenly. For now it's working for me, but I know I can't stay on this medication for too long.

Have taken this for approx 3 yr, 2mg-3times daily, have not had to increase, but always need this amount, no help with sleeping- but stops the anxiety, slows my racing thoughts, and worry over nothing! Will most likely have to go off if more is required, and take something else, but has worked longer than any other I have taken, and have tried many.

Will most likely have to go off if more is required, and take something else, but has worked longer than any other I have taken, and have tried many. Have to take 5 mg of Diazpam maybe once or twice a week when I am just so nervous I feel trembly-Typa A personality, and cannot slow down, anxious constantly if not taking somethin, then become depressed. I still have to take something to sleep. I have to stay up and read , go to gym to workout to make myself tired enough to sleep through a night and never get 8 hours-have never slept my entire life. Would have been ADHD most likely as a child, taught 30 years-wish I had had some help as a child, would have made huge difference in my life!I posted under ativan as well
