Just looking for a bit of advice really. I have been suffering with severe anxiety for about 3 months. Didn't use any diazapan at first as was scared of becomign addicted. Then things got really bad on an ssri I was on and I was told to use them as needed. Never took them daily, but probably at least 10mg or so over a week ( this is about 1.5 months ago). Anyway, anxiety increased more recenty, so was taking them daily from 30th October until this sunday. Psychiatrist kept assuring me that I would not get addicted and told me to take up to 20mg a day due to the level of anxiety! I have never taken more than 15mg ( only once) and have tried to take only 2.5mg a day. Anyway, I started a new med, pregablin, on Tuesday. Psychiatrist told me to continue with the diazapan if needed, but I feel so stoned/ tired on the pregablin I was determined not to take the diazapan and just stop them. Anyway, my anxiety has really been through the roof the last few days, I know I was anxious about starting the meds etc, but the depersonalisation is out of this world at the moment. I just wondered if anyone thought this could be due to benzo withdrawrel, as I guess i did take them every day for over a month? If so, what should I do?? xxx
