Oh, I do think they'll work for you again! I get the impression they are different from antidepressents which poop out, that way. In the short term, despite their controversy and side effects, it does seem that the atypical antipsychotics can alleviate anxiety. I've also had some decent success with some different supplements at times, including theanine, valerian, kava, even melatonin- but don't know too much about exactly which ones are best. Someone on the alternative board might know more. Some people say Benedryl helps- makes me hyper though. What about Buspar? I don't know much about it, other than it's supposed to be for anxiety, but isn't like benzos.

That is really strange and surprising to hear about the chocolate though! Wonder what would happen if you experimented to cut down on chocolate? I wonder how much it actually affects the valium. Weird.

I've noticed motrin makes me sleepy, too. But I can't use it so well anymore, it upsets my stomache- all of those NSAIDS do.

> Laima really strange as I eat a lot of chocolate which contains theophylline and this reduces the effects of valium according to your links, also I have noticed that in the two years I have been back on valium from xanax that after the l0 years or so off it the old ahhh that's nices relaxing feeling didn't return. Also noticed that when I take the wake-up dose it doesn't put me back to sleep. But if I want to sleep 2 motrin let me sleep better. So maybe benzos don't work for me anymore. So what's a substitute if they don't? If the ad's don't work? Love Phillipa
