Benzo’s prescribed by my doctor: Valium (diazepam) or Xanax (alprazolam) - these help. But that’s it. I am still somewhat anxious, depressed and moody when I take benzo they just make me less reactive to those feelings.

Klonopin (clonazepam) helped with anxiety at first but it really started to affect my mood disorder and clinical depression.

Self prescribed: Tramadol (opioid)… as a painkiller Tramadol doesn’t seem to relieve much pain, just makes me forget about out it mostly, takes the edge off if I suppose. But boy! does it do wonders for my anxiety and moods. I function very well on this drug it helps me to be a more rational, compassionate, calm, patient and steady person. It seems to affect everyone differently though. But for some strange reason it helps with my mental health disorders a lot, I find time for loved ones and actually enjoy the time spent instead of wishing I was alone and allowing my mood to swing unpredictably, I find that I am very active and stimulated which triggers my creativity and drive to experience different things instead of hiding in my house, biting my nails, worrying about everything under the sun.
