Hi Paul,
>Is so tempting to pump in Xanax. Could Valium be too weak?
No, I don't think Valium is too weak, I think you will feel better in a week or two. I wouldn't transfer to Xanax if I were you, I think you will suffer withdrawal symptoms between doses. Even Xanax XR doesn't last as long as it's supposed to.
>I have not felt normal in two years. Getting so very old.
How do you feel today? I think you have improved a lot since you've been back on Valium. I think you will improve even more over the next few weeks. You should be able to find a suitable maintenance dose which prevents any withdrawal symptoms while not being excessive.
>Everyone says I am not the same person anymore.
You have been through a lot in recent times. Valium can treat your withdrawal symptoms but you've been affected by the trauma. I do think you'll make a good recovery but it will take time.
Kind regards,
Ed.PS. Keep posting :-)
