#the solution to drug abuse isn't to punish people who aren't even fucking abusing the drugs!

Frustrated with doctors who won't prescribe benzodiazepines because they're 'habit forming' but immediately jump to SSRIs for anxiety. A thing you take daily and can cause severe withdrawal symptoms.

Like 0.5 mg of clonazepam maybe twice per week at most for severe anxiety isn't a lot to ask.

BUT SURE NO SHE ALSO GAVE ME BUSPAR WHICH IS AN ANXIOLYTIC DRUG WHICH IS ALSO """"""HABIT FORMING""""" IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION OF SEDATIVE

>:C

#me complaining #rant #anxiety medication #benzodiazepines are excellent at treating short term anxiety attacks and just because some people misuse it doesn't mean the drug is bad #people get high off of fucking benadryl for gods sake whether or not a medication can give a high in large doses #shouldn't affect whether or not it's prescribed especially if that medication WORKS #MOST fucking medications will make you feel high if you take enough of them #Not saying they'll be good highs but the point still stands #the solution to drug abuse isn't to punish people who aren't even fucking abusing the drugs!
