I was prescribed some after a severe accident and it really helped me, both during while dealing with the pain and stress, and after to get over the trauma and anxiety attacks.

I've always been fervently anti-meds but sometimes when you're in a tough spot they are magical and going without is the worse alternative.

For what it's worth after 2 years of occasional use, I have no addiction at all. I've been tracking my use daily for the past year and as my anxiety has waned I've stopped taking them entirely.
