Diazepam or Lorazepam?

[RHR17]

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a product that reduced anxiety and increased energy?  That's been a problem I have found myself.  Sure I can reduce anxiety, but there is always a cost and that is being sleepy. 

Agreed - that would be an amazing medication! In terms of performance at work, I find bromazepam the best for damping anxiety but leaving me reasonably clear-headed.

However I'm generally on diazepam, so a bit less sharp than normal. If I need to be super efficient I will take a low dose of modafinil - but since it can make me anxious, I always make sure I have a spare diazepam with me. This is not something I do often, maybe every month or two.

After lots of reading about the long-term effects of benzos on cognition, I've started taking turmeric every day which should minimise some of the long-term problems (e.g. with memory).

Is anyone else using turmeric with benzos?

Does tumeric really make a noticeable difference? I noticed I’m way less sharp than before I started taking benzos regularly. Would love to hear more info on this.

What I find weird is I’m a q4 user of Alp. It actually gives me energy and I’m able to go out and do things. It’s backwards, I know. Guess my gaba receptors must be as well.
