"a very high poop out rate, at least in my experience, as well as some annoying cognitive side effects"
here too, i.e., if you reach for it several times a day it seems to have have diminishing returns. And its effects are only a few hours. It's not, by any means like a benzo.
The cognitive effects are similar to alcohol, plus a little confusion thrown in. I can't do intricate tasks, nor would I recommend driving with it. I reckon that's why it's not much used.
But a few who need a calming agent at bedtime for instance, and don't want to go the full benzo route, it's possibly something to consider
