> Once I reduced bromazepam from 36mg/d to 6mg/d. I would take the 6mg bromazepam in the morning so I didn't feel insane in public.
> After 3 weeks I was alright.

> Now I take 10mg/d Valium.
> I'd like to stop because I feel for sure it is bad for me, but for sure I also need it.Valium have a lot of actives metabolites inside it and stay a lot longer in the blood stream and accumulate in the body (fat tissues, muscles...), i'm sure it's not good in a long-term of view...but 10mg/day of Valium is still low if you compare it with the Rivotril or Xanax powerfull effect on the gaba-a receptors in the brains...
I return to 20mg/day since I stop the Parnate this week, it's a kind of answer from my body who just ask for more Valium to encounter the withdraw effects of the Parnate I assume...
One thing is sure, I prefer to be on the Valium than the Rivotril or Xanax...cause it's less addictive and incisive...I take it, I don't feel any effect on my anxiety, on my moods or things like that, but if I don't take it, I feel this strange sensations inside my head, like someone play with my brain and I hate it so much...so I just continue to use them...I have to learn to fight this "strange" sentation...
One day, I will be able to fight my addiction over this drug!!!
One thing is sure, they have a bad effects on the cognitives abilities in a long-term view and they can cause permanent impairements dammages...as well as worsing the depression... I'm the perfect example for this explanation...I can say that I lost more than 50%, if not more than 80% of my cognitives abilities, affecting my short term memory as well as the amount of time I need to understand something...I tend to have a strong memory for things that happen years and years ago...but i can't remember what I do yesterday or knowing the date and the day we are... (sorry, bad english here...I do my best ;-) ).
