if your current prn is not working fast enough or is not strong enough talk to your doc about it. I would say it is not okay because it could ahve interactions with your other medications, you do not always have access to it, you said you are a possible od risk, and it could interact with foods you are unaware of. also, if it is helping to reduce stress you are not giving your doctor the full picture of where you really are when you speak to them because you ahve this medication to take the edge off. i don't know if I would consider it a form of self harm but i would consider it dangerous. and i am not familiar with that particular drug but many drugs that reduce anxiety can be habit forming and you don't want to add substance abuse to the problems you already have. I suggest getting rid of the pills and telling your doctor that you need a stronger prn. ((hugs))
