Hi Mili I am on gamanil 70mg twice daily and I have to say they are working for me. Prior to that I was on Citalopram, I wanted it to work because I thought it was the "IN " thing, it didnt for me, but ok on gamanil, after a few months getting it in my system, hope this helps love Alexis,xx

If you have only been on the meds for 5 days, then it is normal to feel a little low. Your body will still be getting used to them. Hang in there..:D

Hi Mili, see what the doctor says. Did he say take it at bedtime, I take 70mg in a morning and 70mg in an evening,he may increase yours in time if not enough, it is early days and it will take a while to get into your system.Everybody has sad days even when they are not sufferers.Just keep patient and Im sure you will be ok.Take care,let us know how you get on, love Alexis,x

You can try cutting out one of the quarters of the diazepam and see if you notice any difference .

When are you seeing your GP again ?

[8D]i had to go yesterday because my diverticular disease flared up and gave me awfull cramping pains.he told me to carry on with the medication and go back in two weeks time.i cannot understand why i cannot let go of some of the fears i keep getting i am doing half an hour a day self hypnosis to relax me in my dinner hour from work.but i feel as if i am drunk allthe time on the tablets but do not drink alchol.is this a side affect of the medication.

It could quite possibly be the side effects from the tablets that are making you feel like that, but it will pass hun.

Hi Mili, i take gamanil twice a day like I said, I have just been prescribed valium for use in "emergencies", I do take other medication but it is for asthma and eye complaint, I dont wake up dizzy but often get pins and needles in the lower part of my arms but the upper parts feel as if they are missing if this makes any sense, I dont think these are side effects of medication(I dont read side effects) I think it is all down to anxiety etc which is prob what yours will be due to,it is best to talk it all over with your usual gp when he returns, Meg will probably be along soon, she will know more probably.
Do you get any more help eg counselling or cbt? I do and found/find that really beneficial.
hope you are ok, it all takes time, Love Alexis,xx

Hi mili
I also take 70mg lofepramine twice a day and have just been prescribed valium for use in "emergencies", same as "alexis".
I don't suffer any ill effects from them luckily! I do also take an anti-inflammatory tablets and cimitedine for my stomach.. otherwise I'm ok on them!
