[QUOTE="Fortunate, post: 234201, member: 42264"] I can't give a good scientific answer, but my response would be that you become tolerant and maybe even dependent fairly quickly. I think a benzodiazepine might be most useful in limited circumstances to get someone through something traumatic. That said, I think there are people that take them on a regular basis, but in those circumstances, it can be a bit of a one way street (hard to get off and feel normal). On the other hand, If this helps you get back into the gym, that's a good thing. Here's a totally random thought: If you live anywhere near a lake and the weather is decent, take a Sea-Doo for a ride! A few weeks ago, I was at my in-law's lake place. I rode one of those suckers on a serene lake and it was absolutely fantastic. Liberating. I rode along my wife and we blasted through the water with warm wind and sun smashing us in the face. I was surprised at how damn fast those things can accelerate. I just felt free and at ease, and the afterglow lasted into the evening. I know, it all sounds really corny. I guess the point I am making is that when we find ourselves "in the moment" or what some people describe as "flow", we tend to forget past regrets and future worries. It is truly liberating. I think there are innumerable ways to get into this state of mind: woodworking, bird watching, boating, etc. I truly think it's good for the soul and can be as useful as any pharmacologic approach.
