What Benzodiazepine would help my anxiety

    Currently on 50mg sertraline (zoloft) once a day but anxiety levels through the roof.

    I was on 0.5 alprazopam (xanax) and 5 mg diazpam (valium) before and they didn't quite work.

    I know I shouldn't self medicate but my uncle is prescribed 2mg klonopin (clonazpam) he gave me 2 or 3 to try out and was amazed by them.

    I'd like to hear opinions on this 🙏👍

    PS iv tried all natural remedies, CBT CBD etc you name it 🙄

    I 100% know that, I wouldn't abuse or overtake just when needed. I remember just having a xanax in my wallet just kept my mind at ease knowing it was there. I was on them for 3-4 years weaned off no probs. I do running swimming exercise u name it. Its just at night time my brain races and need something to slow it down that bit 🙄

    Probably yeah, but unfortunately not everyone suffers with anxiety and depression, and medication is the only fix personally in my 11 years coping with it

    OP taking other people's medication (with or without their blessing)is a terrible idea, please discuss with your gp, seek a second opinion if you wish, closing thread
