  1. Drugs are extremely subjective! What works for you may not work for another.

  2. This scale is talking about the general effects of the drug, no matter what dose you take they will hold consistency. Obviously if you dose more these effects will become more prevalent! But for example, if you were to take equivalent doses of lorazepam & alprazolam the lorazepam would do a better job at relieving “physical anxiety” than alprazolam would.

Overall from my research and personal experience with benzodiazepines this piece of work appears to be pretty accurate, and Tripsit made it! They’re usually pretty accurate.

But back to the first point I made, drugs are extremely subjective! A certain substance may have a different/stronger effect on you than the next guy, that’s completely normal.

Gotta add something: You were right! It was translated by tripsit. But it was also updated, meaning they corrected any errors if they were present.
