Of course the shrink there said there's no way it could be helping me, says you're ocd, take ssris, although trileptal got me out of the house and tapered much quicker. I still headaches and naseaua at my 150mg doses, but trust me, worth helping tapering, and depression.

Although it helps anxiety, sleep, positive/happy mood, and was helping interdose wd (which doesn't seem like a prob now with diaz), I don't know if it has the affinity or possibility to help get off valium like trileptal does.

I was able to drive from phoenix to san antonio, and travel all over the northwest US, when otherwise, i would have had serious issues. At the time, i would have still needed a stimulant to concentrate, but that's not an option right now.
I only have 100mg pills lyrica, and some 75mg samples, so it'd be tough to do 150 3 times a day.
I could go 175mgs 3 times a day for a few days, then 200mgs 3x a day?I could give the 150mgs trileptal 3x a day a go, see how it compares.
How far down the road do you think i should start my diaz taper?
