Taking this med: Is illegal if it wasn't prescribed for you. There are multiple risks to use of benzodiazapines - learning about them is part of the informed consent process with the physician.

Never: Never take meds without consulting with your physician first. You dont know he adverse affects it can have for you, if it is right for you or what dose is appropriate for you. It may also interact with other meds you may be on.
