Why Diazepam. WHY? You Suck

Medications

The dose is no longer useful

Now I feel sick when I don’t take it

Does not help anxiety anymore

I told them this would happen

Now there is the fun of withdrawal or dose creep

This is just ridiculous and I can’t stand it

Limping through the days like this is not great, but what other choice did I have?

Trying to work this job, learn all the new stuff and dealing with different people is stressful and I needed the Diazepam to calm things down whenever they got out of hand

I have a history of drug use, yet they were more than happy to give me the Pregabalin and Diazepam

Not a good situation, and to say the amount of mental pain it’s causing is an understatement

Fear they might recommend hospital to ‘fix’ me. If I say no, they always send a team of people round to threaten me with the law if I don’t go

But would it be of benefit to get them to fix me?

I was told before the hospital can change things much faster

How often have you been taking the Valium?

I have been cutting them in half

Take 4mg AM, then 2.5mg or sometimes 5mg three or four times a day

Depends on the stress levels

But now the anxiety doesn’t seem to go away

Have been on more before, but it’s getting to a point where they’re going to have to deal with it

Can’t end up where I was before, as it took 9 months to reduce it from 30mg a day to 4mg

Now all that progress has been unraveled and I am not happy about it

My mother has hundreds of the 5mg tablets.

We need to take them back to the pharmacy I think

It was when I was reducing from 30mg I kept picking my full dose up for emergencies, which in itself is not good behaviour I don’t think

I was dependent on Ativan in the past. Benzo withdrawal is living hell.

It’s horrible

Can’t be understated

Lorazepam is a heavy duty drug

They have given me that in the past, but never in massive quantities like they have with Diazepam

The Pregabalin I think has to go

We need a reduction plan I think

Can’t wait until the 23rd January

Hopefully they can sort something out even if over the phone

This song is not for the living
This song is for the dead

With my face against the floor
I can’t see who knocked me out of the way
I don’t want to get back up
But I have to, so it might as well be today
Nothing appeals to me, no one feels like me
I’m too busy being calm to disappear
I’m in no shape to be alone
Contrary to the ■■■■ that you might hear

So walk with me, walk with me
Don’t let this symbolism kill your heart
Walk with me, walk with me
Just like we should have done right from the start
Walk with me, walk with me
Don’t let this ■■■■■■■ world tear you apart

I am on diazepam and only 2 mg, which, I believe, is like one step away from being totally free off it. It took time to get over my anxiety. Or else it died a natural death.

About being taken to the hospital.
Here they don’t want you unless you are a danger to yourself or others.
Tell yourself the hospital doesn’t want you and the police have better things to do than take you away.
Don’t freak out by the police, try and be fond of them and reasonable. You know all this.

Of course I still have anxiety, but it is manageable now. I’ll always have some anxiety. At one time it ruined everything.
