For people who’ve been prescribed either or both of these drugs, which one do you prefer?

I’ve had my fair share of diazepam prescriptions over the years but ya. Even at 15 milligrams I only felt modest anti-anxiety effects and I know I would’ve been better-served with some other benzo. Things like lorazepam don’t interfere with other medications like that, you can safely drink alcohol without running the risk of blacking out or feeling woozy/scared for your life (unlike diazepam) and it just puts you in a better place mentally. You could be in the kitchen buttering your toast or making plantain porridge and just go with it from moment to moment after a bit of lorazepam. It slows down your perception of time but makes you very, very calm and non-hurried/hasty about it so. Just how it is for me.
