I spent a month staring at my RX before filling it because I was afraid of it. Turns out starting with a low dose was one of the best things I’ve ever done.
The first two nights were rough because they gave me insomnia so I started taking it in the morning and started sleeping amazingly.
After 2.5 weeks I noticed the background hum of anxiety was pretty much gone and in the last 8 months I feel like I’m finally my full self.
My dose is low so I don’t have any of the numbing sensations. Life feels richer and finally manageable.
I still experience anxiety, but I can ”turn it off” now after it does its job of telling me something important (like keeping me from missing a flight).
