I've been looking through posts in this section and decided to offer my help/experience/anecdotes/ opinions on benzos since a large percentage of threads are regarding benzodiazepines. This is not a totally selfless pursuit, of course. I am rather anxious to reach the 50 post mark
A little background on myself while trying to maintain some anonymity here. I am in my mid 30s and have been prescribed various benzos for 20 years. My background is in pharmaceuticals (12 years) although I must note I AM NOT NOR HAVE I EVER BEEN A LICENSED PHARMACIST. I was put into a rather unique situation when I was working in a local hospital and became something of a minor expert in the benzodiazepine field. I hold several degrees and certifications in natural medicine but that is neither here nor there unless you're familiar with the coursework and/or requirements for that area of study.
Aside from those notes, I have apparently fairly unique reactions to various benzos and have thus been on almost any commercially available form at one time or another so I think my ramblings may do some good for those in need or help or even just someone to talk to. Just in case, however, I will also say the standard: ANYTHING I HAVE TO SAY IS PURELY BASED ON PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND IS IN NO WAY MEANT TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR CONSULTATION WITH AN ACTUAL MEDICAL DOCTOR.
I realize this is only my fourth post but I'd like to try to have a positive impact on this forum. If I'm in some way stepping on toes or breaking a rule I missed, please let me know, mods. Otherwise I hope to help out and also maybe help condense some possible future threads into this little area here.
Oh one last thing. I work for myself and thus have a few hours a day in which I do nothing but check the few forums I belong to. If this thread is alright with the mods and anyone decides to utilize it, I will usually get back to you in less than 12 hours. I know, kinda sad.
Edit to add: I will NOT address questions on RC benzos. Again, if this thread is allowed to stand, perhaps I will in the future but for right now RC questions will be ignored.
Can you please tell me what Ativan does? i have some and i never tryed it ,its saying that i might have some hallucinations is that true ? anybody who tryed Ativan any feedback on it ?
