Thanks for the message. I am also on Klonopin and Valium which helps tremendously...I do have an adictive personality though and have a thing for pain killers so being on valium is kind of a scary thought for me...but if it is helping me to have a better life...I want to continue to take it.

As for the relationship thing...I am definately waiting until further down the road. Do you think that even if I am taking the medicine it is possible for me to slip? Or is it that once the medicine is in your system you stay stable? My doctor is working me up to 900 mg which I think is a lot but if it will keep me happy....I say go for it...I just dont know what to expect and I hate the unexpected....
