Hello everyone
My doctor has prescribed this drug for anxiety. Does anyone have any experience of it? Thank you in advance.

yes, I had it and whilst it worked, I could not get off it, it took me a long long time to get off this drug totally, it's withdrawal side effects were horrendous, so much so I had to have a bridging drug for a month to get me over the worst episodes. MY daughter and also a friend were on this drug and also suffered withdrawals.

There's plenty of information about this on the internet.

Personally, I would never touch this drug again.
