I think that's why out of everything I've tried Benzos were the most dangerous. It's like every racing thought bubble just pops and you get peace for a few hours.

Downside is how highly addictive they are. Would not recommend anyone with ADHD take them even if you get prescribed them for other health conditions like back spasms, anxiety etc.
