Ed,
I took 50 mgs of benadryl.It was the first doaage I have taken. I went ahead and took the 20 mgs of the beta blocker and my heart rate is at 68. I may actually try and go to the hospital and get more propranolol. LoL, I feel like a junkie for god sakes!
The akathisia was non existent at 2 mgs a day. When I was at 1 mg a day I had a severely stressful event occur in my life and i think this might have sent my system into overdrive and caused me to get this symptom.
Do you think it is vital that this symptom be controlled? There is no way I could get off of valium if this symptom were to be present. I consider it life/sanity threatening in a way. Am I exaggerating by saying that?
How big should the reductions in dosage be with the liquid valium? I feel kind of hopeless now and like i'll be a prisoner on this stuff. I sure hope that any other person would react the same way.
I am from the Texas. I have a few friends in the UK. Sounds like a cool country to live in. Do you live by London?
