Hello Dragonfly (and I hope that Soozan will forgive me for butting in ) . Pam drugs are drugs like clonazepam. They are all from a class of drugs known as Benezodiazepines. As most of us cannot spell that, much less pronounce it correctly, they are often called Benzo's or pam drugs. The pam part comes from the fact that they mostly end in pam. Clonazepam, lorazepam and Diazepam being common examples.
For some people they can cause exactly what you describe. In wikipedia it is described as follows.
"Benzodiazepines are generally viewed as safe and effective for short-term use, although cognitive impairment and paradoxical effects such as aggression or behavioral disinhibition occasionally occur. A minority of people can have paradoxical reactions such as worsened agitation or panic"
I know some people who cannot take any pam drug as it does make them aggressive, or more probably it makes both their conscious and sub conscious mind more relaxed and thus not as able to control the emotions that they would normally suppress.
I have prescriptions for both lorazepam and clonazepam and I rarely take the clonazepam. I find the lorazepam works better in my system for controlling my anxieties and it is shorter acting so it is out of my system quicker. But that is a personal choice and not a recommendation as everyone is different. Take Care. paul m
