You had jokingly referred to my Valium prescription when I described my Effexor withdrawal. I know it was just a joke, but I now have a question...
Is Valium really a sought-after prescription (well, I know just about every benzo is on the web these days)? I get Xanax like its candy from my pdoc, but she is all nervous about giving me more scripts for Valium. I thought that since Valium was longer acting, the habituation/addicition potential was lower. I mainly ask to switch because I think it is helpful in decreaseing tolerance to one or the other.
That being said, what would you recommend I ask for from my pdoc as the best anxiolotic/tranquilizer/sedative from from benefits ranking as follows (i) euphoric/social disinhibition, and (ii) lower incidence of hangover. I really do not take them much (my Xanax) unless I am really stressed or have me insomnia (which is frequent, so I probably take about .5 to 1mg daily--but this doesn't seem like much based on what I read here).
However, the Xanax now just makes me sleepy, it doesn't help as much with my anxiety/social inhibitions. So...what would you ask for? Maybe Seconal? :)
