The “everything’s ending and it’s my fault” feeling is a chemical lie, not a personal truth.

Allegedly.

It seems that being prescribed Clotiazepam for anxiety has it's positives and negatives.

File under: Things the hospital didn't tell me.

I've been on this stuff for seven months.

Clotiazepam is a class of drug called “thienodiazepines”. It is chemically similar to benzodiazepine.

Side effect include insomnia, rebound anxiety, dizziness etc etc etc.

I'm trying to taper off them now like I did venlafaxine. DON'T DO THAT DRUG.

Would explain a lot of things to do with my moods because I thought they weren't that effective. Except just stopping them has screwed me up. Go me!
