Funny, I've never really abused alcohol or seriously considered it, even when my benzo supply was cut off abruptly, though I did abuse benzos *a lot* - up to 20mg Klonopin a day. I think it has something to do with the GI irritation and general toxicity. Does it actually help? Whenever I tried it to ease the anxiety alcohol usually ended up making matters worse in a very short space of time.

On the other side of the equation, I have a psychiatrist colleague who took Prozac to relax and enjoy his vacation. It worked very well. He told me that he tried it at home when he returned. He quickly stopped it when he found himself thinking, "Who cares?" when his patients described their problems.
