I don't love taking it, but I love the way it allows me to cope with the situations that I know I am going to be uncomfortable with. In that way I concider it a miracle drug.

I am concerned about splitimage saying that it became an addiction. I do not have any type of euphoric feeling, I am just less anxious. Does this mean that I am less at risk to becoming addicted? I do not take it very often, I'm a horder, part of the ocd. It's so wonderful that I want to be sure that I have it when I absolutely need it. I'm supposed to take 2mg at bedtime to help me sleep and 1mg as needed to cope with anxiety. It does help me sleep, but I don't want to waste it like that, I much rather have extra in case I need it.
