As I mentioned earlier I was diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety and put on an anti-depressant and a benzodiazapine 14 years ago. I can not quit them because of side effects of withdrawal. I just found out that people are smoking benzo's with fentanyl., which is deadly. So much mental suffering has been exasperated by drugs. Alcohol, opium, tranquilizers...etc. Please if you do use a drug, be careful to use as sparingly as possible.

Sometimes I have to take benzos for an autonomic disorder, where my blood pressure can shoot sky high for no reason. Fortunately, it doesn't happen often. Benzos can calm an abnormal spike in blood pressure (not the same as continuous high blood pressure) so they are handy to have around. I am also sensitive to most drugs, so it only takes about 5 mg when that happens.
