I'm due to see my doctor again later this week, hoping to increase my dose of sertraline. Anyway, I've found that the diazepam works wonders when I take it before going out. It's 2mg and I was only given 8. I hope to get more this week, but I don't think I'll be given it due to how addictive it is, and the fact that I was given so few.
I've been taking 1 every morning that I plan on leaving the house (which isn't very often). I hadn't taken any for a few days as I was only at home, which was fine, but when I went out without taking any the anxiety was awful. I don't want to take them long term, but how likely does anyone think I'll be to get more? Or are there any alternatives that are fast acting? Got a stressful few months coming up and I don't want to face them alone.
