I have anxiety, I use benzos, I use benzos too much, specifically clonazepam. I choose clonazepam because it has a subtle effect and lasts long enough but also helps me enough socially. It lasts a long enough time that I don't have to redose much in the day and it also effects me pretty much right away when I take it.
There are just so many types of benzos and, besides the length of time they last and how subtle they are, I don't completely understand the difference. I also probably don't know EVERY type of benzo.
For example, I know (am fairly certain of, I do consider myself fairly knowledgeable about benzos but I'm not a medical professional so correct me if I'm wrong):
diazepam - very long lasting but doesn't hit you right away, is very subtle
lorazepam - used for sleeping (I'm not sure why and I'm not sure other effects of it, I don't think I've ever tried it)
clonazepam - people with extreme anxiety go through clonazepam treatment so there must be a reason for it; it acts quickly, it's subtle, and it lasts a decent amount of time (but not as long as diazepam)
alprazolam - last a shorter amount of time but hits you right away and you can feel it and seems to be best for panic attacks
Then there is etizolam which is just... different.... and I know there are a ton more but those seem to be the common ones. I guess I'm not sure what's best for what etc.
