They say take it 4 times a day and it is so easy to do...I take it when I need to but even when I do...I don't even want to do anything...it's tough...but not easy to come off it....and Stevie is right the doctor's don't want to take you off of it..they don't even want to lower the dosage...just take 1/2 a pill they say...BS in my opinion.

It is not a "horrible horrible" drug, this (and other meds in the same class like Valium and Ativan) medicine can be a life-saver for some patients who are crippled with anxiety or have issues with agitation.
All Benzopiazopenes are addictive, which is why they are usually prescibed in a judicious manner by clinicians.
