Benzos When/why/what do psychiatrists prescribe the atypicals - not the big 3 (val,kpin,xan)

I got prescribed triazolam for over a 3 month period. It was good but in my experience its the benzo with the most side effects. Now I stick with my sweet zolpidem for sleep and coke comedowns. Ive heard that flunitrazepam its great but here its strictly regulated, in the same category of amphetamines and opiates.
Someone have tried lormetazepam?
 
Ativan is actually being prescribed more often nowadays in the US than val/kpin/xan -- because it has "less abuse potential": bullshit, its a benzo all the same, just with weirder and goofier side effects than the "big 3", so instead of giving people with anxiety something that just slightly sedates them, doctors are now prescribing something that not only sedates them but also disorients them, causing traffic accidents and all sorts of other problems - all in the name of "fighting drug abuse".

I'd imagine that the truly exotic benzos (temazepam, midazolam, etc) are prescribed only to be taken immediately before laying down to go to sleep (otherwise all sorts of amnesia-related trouble might ensue, such as falling and hitting your head, traffic accidents, etc). I think they're prescribed very rarely, and only when all other sleep meds have failed - because they're very addictive errhmmm *cough* i mean "habit forming".
 
the real question you shouldnt asked isnt when/why/what but "where?"

oh btw shoot for temazepam. i've never found a more enjoyable benzo. my girlfriend was cleaning out her dad's office and found a box full of them last year. good times
