Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences of using benzodiazepams (e.g. diazepam/Xanax/alprazolam/lorazapam) for treating anxiety.
It probably sounds weird but I'm going on holiday soon - which should be fun/relaxing - but traveling can bring up a lot of triggers for me and I am worried about getting overwhelmed and not being able to use my coping strategies because I'm away from home.
It took a long time for me to come off the SSRI I was taking so I don't want really want to go back to that right now.
I know doctors in the U.K can be very hesitant to prescribe benzo's and normally only for a short time (which would be fine for me), but I have a doctors appointment soon and I would really appreciate hearing other people's experiences first.
Thanks,
V
