Thanks for your post, Scott. I'm sorry to hear about your own parental struggles, though as disheartening as it may be, it's essentially the answer I expected.

My mother is a narcissist, and thus well versed in the art of making me feel guilty for any complaints issued against her - hence my questioning my own culpability.

I wasn't aware that AD's could produce dysphoria. Thanks for the tip. I'll discuss it with my doctor.

I think that you would have already passed through the withdrawal period for Valium withdrawal, but perhaps not. It might depend upon how long you were on it. Ed_UK2010 would know better than me.
