Recently got prescribed 10MG by my doctor because he thinks my anxiety is affecting my hypertension. Been about a month now and it seems like it's maybe working, my BP is down. So far no side affects, my Doc said it could affect my libido or even give me ED, but so far I can still... uhhh... do the deed just fine. Also no weight gain, if anything I've lost a few pounds.

Idk just curious people experiences.

Have taken 10mg for anxiety. Take it before bed since it makes me sleepy. Has almost completely eliminated a lifetime of low-medium grade anxiety. Makes it difficult to orgasm which isn't great. YMMV.

Edit: also it makes my dreams way more "literal" than ever. Like I never used to dream about shit that happened that day. Now I always do. Also I'm now prone to kick in my sleep.
