The xanax xr version is probably going to be too expensive. I FEAR a valium withdrawal, as i was psychotic, housebound, lost weight, couldn't swallow, i felt like i was hight, on speed, on acid, anything under the gamet, you name it.
I don' know if this was some serious MS flaring up, or what was going on.
So yes, the xanax isn't great, and it does make me feel quite i'll i believe, and there is some interdose wd. Going over to valium, say 60mgs, and coming off that, after what i went through getting from 30mgs to 17mgs over months this past year, scares the bajesus out of me.
I am CLUELESS as what to do here.
I felt some decency with the trileptal today, but some serious naseaua and headache, which i thought was benzo related, but i think may have been the provigil
