Feels like waking up early on a softly rainy day curled up and cozy and knowing you can sleep in for another 3 hours, and everything is alright in the world

Exactly this

Yes I took it for about 6 months after being r-worded. It feels like true peace and a warm hug. It’s the only drug I’ve tried that doesn’t make me feel “not myself” somehow. I feel 100% myself, just the most peaceful, warm version of myself. I stopped taking it because, for that reason, I started craving it on a daily level and didn’t want to get addicted.

I took it a few times a week - I was having daily panic attacks but would try to use other coping mechanisms to calm down and ground myself unless it was happening during the work day and I needed to calm down asap to work on something urgent. It’s very much a bandaid - it won’t help you have less anxiety long term on its own. But if you are in a situation where you need a bandaid to get you through while you work on developing longer term solutions like practicing mindfulness or going to therapy or whatnot then I highly recommend.

It feels like the panic part of your brain is turned off. Completely. My house could’ve been on fire and I wouldn’t have cared.

Be careful. See a lot of people develop benzo problems
