    More Diazepam info please

    I know that there is a thread on this already but I have just been given 21 2mg's of Diazepam for anxiety and panic. I was told to use them only when I really needed them.

    So far I haven't taken any yet. I was just wondering if anyone knows if it interacts with St John's Wort ? I've stopped taking it just in case it does.

    Also does it have any strange side effects or do you still feel pretty normal ? Just having them makes me feel better but it's only a matter of time before I take one.

    p.s

    Has anyone had any strange effects after stopping St John's Wort suddenly ?

    Thanx

    Hi Blair

    I have been on diazapem for 20 years!!!!!always on a low dose,very hard to withdraw from long term, have tried many timesget setback and end up where I started.Taking them just when you need them is best, they do calm youif youare really bad or have to go somewhere you find difficult. They dont make you feel odd just calm.Cant help with St Johns Wort as I havent had that.
    I wish I had been told to take them just when I needed them
    but they didnt know hoe addictive they were then

    They will make you feel calmer and a little drowsy maybe but not bad atall.

    I used to take them when I got panicky but haven't done so for over 3 years now. I do have some but don't feel the need for them.

    I used to have 2mg and break them in half and just have that. Used to help me anyway.

    I might just half mine too because my anxiety isn't all that chronic it's just very uncomfortable at times

    Thanks

    I was given 4 boxes full each month I went to see my GP...... (2mg tabs).

    When I was really bad I was taking 4mg, 3 times a day then started taking just 2mg, 3 times a day. I stopped them quite easily and just have them when I need them now which is not very often. I didn't have any difficulty in stopping them and I was on them for a good 3 months at that dose.
