Benzos can fuck you up good and proper without abuse. I was prescribed some for panic attacks. Take as needed, up to every 4 hours.

I took one a day for 4 days, as the panic would flare up right before I tried to sleep. I figured, I could be taking 6 a day, so 1 a day shouldn't hurt. And it was only 4 days in a row. No problem.

Day 5. Bang. Dt's. Immediate anxiety attack. Suicidal thoughts. Brain zaps. High blood pressure. Vertigo.

They are no joke, but doctors throw them around like they used to with opiates.
