"This medication knocked out my anxious, OCD-driven ruminations unlike any medication or therapy I have tried. I was extremely hesitant to try it due to side effects. But it worked within an hour (at 0.5 mg) and the benefits were dramatic. I was still aware of the anxious thoughts in my head, but I could prevent myself from going down the futile path of rumination.
However, the major drawback is sedation. It&#039;s not the &quot;down&quot; sort of sedation I&#039;ve experienced on other medications. My mood and motivation stay good, but it feels like I need to take a nap mid-afternoon or sleep an extra hour or two. For me, this isn&#039;t acceptable long-term. But it&#039;s invaluable as a PRN when my anxiety gets super high."
