Summary
The user said they had ME/CFS and reported that benzodiazepines gave them energy and helped with their post-exertional malaise. They cautioned that they could still overdo things and crash, so the medication eased their energy but did not remove the need to stay within their limits, and they remained prone to crashes after exertion.
