"this drug has multiple uses. i was prescribed it for social anxiety, as a replacement for the clonazepam (klonopin) i had been taking for several years. it has very mild but noticeable effects. it sort of grounds you and keeps you calm, but not in a drugged out way. it also helps you sleep soundly. and for me, it gives my lower back a break of sorts from the constant spectrum of pain and discomfort. this is a kind of miracle drug in a way. i would suggest not drinking more than one alcoholic beverage if taking more than 300mg at a time, because you might get a little loopy. but it won&#039;t make you dizzy and want to vomit like oxycontin or percocet. potential for abuse exists in my opinion, so talk with your doctor about a treatment regimen."
