anxiety and stress
"I was put on 50mg for Anxiety and minor depression 3 years ago. I took it for 2 years, and have been off it for 1. I am about to start again at 20mg daily. It was really a life saver for me. It reduced emotions without touching intellect, and I found it much easier to just roll with things. Unlike other drugs, this one didn't cause cognitive impairment or "fog". I was clear headed and much less high strung. I was able to focus on work, get things done, and deal.  However, it should be noted that it doesn't select WHICH emotions it dampens..it dampens all of them. The result is that you can be somewhat "cold" in general. You fail to show empathy when you should. There are also sexual side effects. Orgasms lack pleasure."
