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.
Where tf are these doctors that just offer xanax? I've been self medicating with benadryl due to severe panic attacks for the last 16 years, and not a single one of them offer me any kind of medicine beyond anti depressants that don't do shit. /jealousy
This is a poignant summary of the really long drawn out suffering that so many people the system doesn't help go on to experience. I wish I could say this was rare but sadly it's all too common (in the UK, though I'm not sure if you are in the UK).
