Unless you need them for anxiety there not very addicting. It's like an amphetamine to me addiction wise. I like amphetamines but could never do it everyday. their fun but don't cause much euphoria.
I concur. I've had some people who didn't have an anxiety disorder deny benzodiazepines are recreational and insist that I was either lying, ignorant, or experienced placebo.
Indeed, it seems these and related drugs are not really drugs at all, for most people.
I find this very odd—a drug can be recreational only for certain people afflicted with certain psychiatric disorders.
It makes me wonder how different drugs (e.g., opioids, dissociatives, psychedelics) feel to people with different mental disorders, insofar as they feel differently at all.
How might heroin feel to a person with anger management problems, or cocaine or meth to a person with depression?
How might a psychotomimetic (psychosis-imitating) drug, like PCP, feel to a person with a psychotic disorder, like schizophrenia? Might they feel anything? Perhaps doubly psychotic or, curiously, feel normal? Fascinating stuff!
