"most subtle of the benzos i have tried.  made me sleepy the first hour or two, but then stabilized anxiety and mood for about 6 hours.  much longer lasting than it is given credit for.  good prn medication.  other benzos cause some moodiness or depression even.  although i think lorazepam can, it is much smoother than others.  it again is too sedating for many people though.  i liked it about as good as clonazepam, it is better than valium imo."
