I'd always thought of benzos as "happy pills" that make you forget all your troubles and that let you experience some sort of euphoria. WRONG!
I was recently prescribed lorazepam for my anxiety, and I take it as prescribed by my doctor, and it helps me really well. My question, however, is why people take benzos recreationally? It helps me a lot with my anxiety, but I can't imagine why anyone would want to overdose on this stuff?
In my experience, benzos only provide therapeutical benefits. Yet, drug abusers eat this stuff like candy from what I've heard, and also make it difficult for people who really need it to get it, since doctors are used to so many people lying to them just to get benzos.
Could someone who has any experience with drug abuse or abusers enlighten me?
