Wait and see on your current dose how the next few days go ..

It might have been genuine stress from work and unaffected by the tablet intake.

Hi Mili, Whst dosage of vallium are you on? vallium are difficult to come of as if you have been taking them for a while they are addictive. take care.

hi Milli, that dont seem to much but better when i can to try and miss dosses of vallium to stop and chance of addiction. Its hard but you will feeel better if you learn to cope without them. I am not saying stop taking vallium full stop, but just try and use as a real emergency. take Care, vernon

Hi Mili,
I can't really give you any advice on the diazepam I'm afraid. However I do take propanalol 3 times a day, 40mg per tablet.
I was very shaky and tired(sooooo tired), when I first started taking these, but in retrospect they have been a life saver.
I'd recommend that you keep on taking the propanalol as you're only on a low dose. It can help immensely with anxiety. Its enabled me to feel a lot calmer in stressful situations.
I still get stressed and anxious at times, but then again so does every 'normal' person!
Persevere with them a while longer as it can take time for things to kick in and start working properly.
Hope you're doing ok and keep us updated!

[8D]today i have been for my first session of hypnotherapy,i felt fantastic while i was under hypnosis but now i am home i wonder if it will work i now know its power of the mind ,but can it really work i now have the power to tell myself some of the things he said to me while i was in trance like to tell myself i am confident and relaxed but i dont know if it will help in my days at work,ihad a lousy day again today as if i was there but in someone elses body, is it part of the anxiety or is it the medication,when is the best times to take my medication before or after food.do the beta blockers stop the anxiety as fast as the diaxepam.or should i be taking them at the same time or seperatly.
