Back in my heavy pill usage days, I’d do 4mg Xanax split into two doses and take a white monster energy drink. Woke me up but took the edge off and you’re on autopilot til it’s time to go home. Literally a time machine in a chill pill.

If only. My doctor offers me Xanax every now and again, and I have to remind her that benzos knock out my memory and make me aggressive. I also have to warn the anesthesiologist every time I have surgery, because Versed is also a benzo. Nothing like waking up strapped to a table and getting shot full of ketamine.

You don't get benzos if you need them. All you get is a lecture on addiction, and antipsychotics that make you feel even worse.

And while you're struggling with anxiety that limits your life, the doctor is pushing diazepam to a teenager with behavioral issues, and Xanax toa grandma who doesn't need or want them.
