There were times when I abused them. I had a pretty bad withdrawal that gave me a seizure. Now I take them to give me munchies. For that of course I must not take it for longer than 2 weeks. My depression and anxiety is treated in a different way. Benzodiazepines messes with my memory and cognition. Lorazepam seems to be the worst on memory, for me. Useful for dental appointments though.
