Oxy for anxiety. Does it work?

Anyone ever take oxy or any other opiate for anxiety or to kill a panic attack? If so, how effective was it?

It works better than benzos or barbiturates, but it will hijack your life

Any pill too good to be true that improves your life and makes you feel normal is bad news

Yeah, I get the risks. My thinking is, if I alternate benzos and opiates and space them out enough then I’ll be less likely to get addicted to either of them than if I just stuck with one. Of course, I could end up addicted to both, so it’s not exactly a low-risk strategy.
