Benzos gf says I'm different when on Clonazepam

...
mostly older folks get benzos for anxiety
....

Really? What do you mean by "older"? The older generation (+/-60yo) generally don't tolerate benzo's that well so I would have thought an SSRI (or the like) would be prescribed more often then not. ??. Having said that, I also have found that Clonazepam is the best benzo for anxiety.

lol what i mean is docs feel more comfy giving benzoso to people over 30years old, numerous reasons, pain muscle spasms, sleep, anxiety, stress...they fear teenagers going on them due to abuse, selling them, and the fact how addictive they can be and to such a young person

Benzos and two drinks will make you a compleatly different person. I took a bar and a half one night, had three beers, black out starts. To this day I cant remember what happen, only have been told I was the biggest fucking dick to my girlfriend for four hours, and ended up drinking another four beers. When I all of a sudden sobered up all at once, with a hangover and was told what I had done, I decided never to touch another benzo in my life again. Its worked out very well for me so far.

My boyfriend took benzos and he was a little different, and I like him much better without them, honestly, now that he manages his anxiety in other ways.

I would agree with others that benzos aren't the best for a long-term solution for anxiety, and would recommend getting off of them, but be sure to taper. My boyfriend didn't do the right thing, was taking more than his dose, ran out without enough to taper and had a withdrawal seizure, and that's a pretty awful thing, honestly. Plus, hospital visits aren't cheap and one is always necessary at that point to straighten out the situation. Be safe!
