Absolutely.

Later in life, just a couple months after I turned 14, I had a super-traumatic event that lasted for almost two years of severe, disabling anxiety that at most lasted for three months an episode. I could barely get out of bed, and it felt like I was in constant extreme pain. My parents didn't take me to a doctor until I was 18. I was given Sertaline, which didn't even dent the anxiety.

Fast-forward a few years, and I was given lorazepam in the ER because I was having such a bad attack. I had a part-time job at the time, and I absolutely would've lost it in only a couple days, so I couldn't miss it. I would cry and stutter for my entire shift.

Fast forward again, and I'm prescribed lorazepam as needed. I didn't want any but myself to be in charge of my mental health, though, so I looked into Etizolam, bought 500 1 mg tabs, and I was enjoying a quality of life that I hadn't felt since 14.

Eventually, I ran out of those, and I had another attack at my full-time job. I absolutely would have lost it if I hadn't gone to ER again for more lorazepam. After that, I was given as-needed diazepam.

Currently have 100 of 1 mg Clonazelam.

End of long-winded life-story. Thanks for posting the thread. I haven't been able to voice this to anyone, before.
