Hello all
I have a question i'm about to start taking cipralex again after a few years break and know that i'll feel worse before i feel better and wondered if you can take diazepam every now and then for those really bad moments until the cipralex kicks in? I forgot to ask my doc this. Also cipralex gives me really bad insomnia so i would take a sleeping pill too, i'm worried about taking too much medication. Does anyone know if this is too much to take? Would only take a Diazepam is i really needed to.
Thanks
Jane

Hi Mad

Cip and diaz together is a very common prescription. Many docs prescribe diaz in the early days of cip as anx can be very high. I'm taking diaz with seroxat (another SSRI). However you really should discuss it with your doc. The diaz may help with the insomnia, so you may not need sleeping tabs as well. Good luck with the cip, remember the early days/weeks can be very rough...hang in there

Love and Hugs
