Had some anxiety issues in France and a doctor that I met with (who I had trouble speaking to) prescribed daily benzos for a month. Towards the end of the month it felt like my body NEEDED the pills. It was scary.
- jmcgough 4y agoYour brain chemistry acclimates to using a GABA agonist every day and will get out of whack if you stop taking it :( like anxiety will be WAY WORSE when going through withdrawal. I still use a benzo (lowest dose lamictal) but only about once a month when I need hit the panic button. It's really not meant to be a daily use drug, scared me when a friend was prescribed it as a daily medication.
- trevorishere 4y agoLamictal is not a benzo and must be used consistently (daily) to prevent SJS as it requires titration. Generally, those who need it (epileptic patients or those with bipolar disorder) must use it for the duration of their life.
- kayodelycaon 4y agoLamictal is an anticonvulsant, not a benzo. I take it daily as a mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder.
