Do most people "Like" the feeling of benzos? I was really excited about starting them, and was expecting a kind of pleasant euphoria. So far I'm not very impressed. BTW, I am only taking them for sleep, I don't have anxiety at all.
First I tried Temazepam, and at 30mg I felt nothing at all and I was not able to sleep at all.
Now I have Ativan, and at 2mg, it does not really make me drowsy, but I do sleep better once I fall asleep. But before I fall asleep it gives me a very dulled, numbed feeling that I would characterize as mildly unpleasant.
Is this very common? Does it have any diagnostic significance?
I don't drink alcohol at all (don't like it either, even 1 or 2 drinks makes me feel like crap), so I expected benzos to have a powerful effect on me. Any idea why they barely affect me at moderate to high doses, even though my body has never been exposed to them before?
