    It's not important to take them when first going on Citalopram. It just eases the pain slightly. And that should only be for an initial 2-4 weeks.

    Diazepam is a dangerous drug. Try stopping for a month... I bet you get side effects.

    Is Diazepam the same as Zopiclone ??

    I took zopiclone for 6 nights only but 2 weeks after taking them I'm still suffering with rebound insomnia

    Hi I have had 36 diazapam tablets over the last 9 wks for severe anxiety,does this seem excessive? The doc said I could take 3x5mg a day if needed but have only ever taken as much as a 5mg tablet in a day and I usually take a quarter at a time ,I am terrified of getting addicted to these tablets but the doctor and crisis team keep sayin I will be ok !!

    Hi Rachelsk,
    I have been prescribed diazepam 5mgs for years for anxiety and panic attacks. 28 usually last about 8-12 weeks. Sometimes I half them too.
    Your doctor and team appear to be happy with that dosage and you are aware of the addictive side to them ( which is good )
    Try not to worry. You are sensible with them and they are helping you.

    Thanks for replying uve helped a great deal they keep sayin I'm careful with them and I won't get addicted but when your suffering from anxiety you always think the worse,I also take 40mg fluoxetine daily ,15mg mirtazapine on a night and beta blockers not sure if I'm still getting side effects from my fluoxetine been upped to 40mg from 20 just over 2wks ago ,sometimes I think it's the diazapam that's makin me feel alienated ,sweating,etc and then I get more uptight

    Your welcome Rachelsk. I don`t take any other meds for anxiety. I felt worse on anti-depressants and can`t take beta blockers because of asthma.

    I wouldn`t say it is the diazepam that`s causing the feeling of being alienated , sweating etc. They would relax you. Could be your other meds side effects. I know I felt awful on fluoxetine. Have you been taking it long.

    I understand you not wanting to be on diazepam long term and if you take them the way you are doing , I can`t see you becoming addicted to them or having bad withdrawal symptoms.
    I certainly never had to increase the dosage to get the same effect and I`ve asked my gp if he thinks I`m addicted to them, but he said no.
    I think you`re right, you are reading and thinking about it too much.lol.

    I was on Zopiclone for a coupe of weeks. It helped my sleep cycle get back to normal.
    Now I can have a full night sleep and I don't need it any more.
