I hear ya
There isn't a "need" for it is there?
Tranqing us works, so why not use whatever is already available to knock you out cold.
Speaking of which, OMG!!!!
So I've been "seeing" my old pdoc just so he can get me in with a T... Last week I was super exhausted because my sleep has been really shyt the last 4 weeks, so out of desperation I thought I'm going to knock myself out with one of his pills.
I took 1 pill venus, 1mg of Risperdal and I was out cold for 16hrs.

Gosh imagine if I had to go to work???
Hated, HATED that foggy groggy feeling, I think its known as an AP hangover(?) So I will not do that again. No way.
Idk how I used these pills before? Oh wait I dooo, I drank energy drinks in order to keep my job.
I'm glad people find them helpful, but its definitly not for me, not this daily med management stuff anyway.
Ooh ooh, sorry to derail hammy, but I tried pdoc's klonopins 1 evening when I was alone and in a very unsafe state of mind... That actually impressed me. I'm not ashamed to say.
I'm considering using it as a prn for severe episodes. But now I have to make up shyt for my appointment because he obviously told me to use it daily. Guess I can just go with the generic "my anxiety has subsided and I haven't had a panic attack since the last time we spoke" reply...
He doesn't need a more detailed account of my experience with klonopin, he likes throwing meds at us. He just wants to know if it works, and while Idk the answer to if it works daily, I do think that I'd like to keep them in my RX just in case, because they calmed me down nicely and allowed me to sleep, so seems pretty useful to have in an emergency...
