"been on this medicine off and on for a few years. usually by doctors who are convinced that every person who asks for a benzodiazepine must be addicted to them. this medication has very little effect on me. i have debilitating generalized anxiety disorder, severe treatment resistant obsessive compulsive disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. this medication is supposed to be for panic attacks. however for me it takes a while to kick in, and once it does, it only relieves a fraction of the intense and constant anxiety. it doesn&#039;t make me sleepy whatsoever, nor does it calm my restlessness."
