Re: Doctor wont prescribe me more diazepam. :(
my doctor won't prescribe them or any other benzodiazepine period. he prescribed them once under duress and the recommendation of a psyche nurse and said 'thats all you're getting from me'. Most docs don't like prescribing Diazepam Because its extremely addictive and as I think you know, you build up a tolerance, however IMHO I don't think prescribing you diazepam and then just abruptly stopping it is right at all as it can have horrendous withdrawal effects.
I'm not a healthcare professional but...
If I was in your shoes what I would do is file a complaint about the way they prescribed a highly addictive drug for two months and then abruptly withdrew it.
secondly, I think its unfair for the doctor to just expect you to be fine on the fluoxetine if you havent started improving after 8-9 weeks of taking it its probably not for you and the doctor should see this and discuss an alternative. There are also other anti-anxiety medicines available and the doctor should explore the option of something less addictive and something you're unlikely to build up a tolerance to.
Thats just the course of action I would take in this situation, and my personal experiences with these medicines
Hope this helps,
Dan
