I take benzo’s somewhat regularly in a small dose. I have never actually shown up to a session drunk, I am not much of a drinker. I have shown up on a benzo though. Low doses take the edge off my anxiety without much of a side effect. Higher doses and I can get agitated and nasty. Pdoc said if they interfered with my work with T I would be off of them. So far they have not. If I take them before T though the anxiety is unrelated to T. It would be unacceptable to him that I was that upset about seeing him. He would immediately take a different approach or do anything in his power to help me feel safe and calm.
