Why is Xanax illegal in the UK?

@Etomidate is that you on Anon?

is he hot too?

You are on two benzodiazepines?!

😂

he's a doctor. apparently.

i use them interchangeably. xanax is better for things like panic attacks. it hits in a different way, i guess. too bad about the short half life..

I presume, Ciel, you get the Xanax on a private script from your GP/psychiatrist.
You must have a very liberal GP. Those I work with would have kittens at a young person being on long-term diazepam, let alone 2 Benzos!
May I ask, out of interest, are you just on 5mg diazepam a day, or an 'as needed' dose?

yeah, it's a side effect.

Asking the same question...

If we're going by musicians, NOFX refer to klonopin in their Pharmacist's Daughter song.

It's good too.

It's known as clonazepam/Rivotril in the UK, and isn't used that much these days, (unless people have been on it for years and years) and mainly for epilepsy.

I have moderate to extreme anxiety depending on what's going on my life. Right now, I am incredibly anxious every day because of something happening in my personal life and new changes, but I know it's only temporary. It's hard to dissociate from the cause of my anxiety because I have to face it every day at work. My anxiety isn't psychological, I know it is a biological defect in my brain because i've had it since birth. Even as a baby/toddler, my mum's friends would tell her that there's something wrong with me because I was terrified of people who were not my primary caregivers. I would be too fearful to play with other children. I heard men's voices in my head that were not there, yelling at me to SHUT UP, so I became afraid of speaking. I would lie awake at night, 6 years old, terrified believing a man will climb through my window and kill me. I had panic attacks at school from the age of 5 years old, I was labelled a cry baby by my peers because of this. I had no childhood traumas so it must be biological.

i’m not sure i understand tbh. you say you feel incredibly anxious about work and your personal life. is a pill going to make you feel differently about it? are you going to be happy taking a pill and living in your current situation?

you need to tell your GP if you think it’s more than just generalised anxiety disorder and something beyond that. does your family have a history of mental health issues?

Meh its not exactly not used that much, i got a script for it from the GP back in 2017 without any hassle. Found it somewhat more effective than Diazepam et al. in terms of not leaving you like a zombie all day.

that's me basically 😂

i love zombies 🧟*♂️ 💓

thanks, hun. a lot of people seem to.

Don’t know but I could do with some now!!

I only know one person who has it prescribed from GP, she’s an ex alcoholic so no idea how she got prescribed an addictive drug.
