Default Let me describe some of what is happening

You did have me worried, though, so I am very relieved and glad that you are doing so much better now -- wow, sleeping and calm! It sounds like this process stepping down from the Valium is working well.

Keep checking in with me and letting me know how you are doing.

To clarify I am calmer for some time during the day. Right now I am on 2.5 mg of Valium w/10 mg proponal in the am at 11. I am usually fairly sedated until 2 at which point the anxiety builds consistently up until 6 pm when I take 5 mg. Strangely enough that does nothing for the anxiety but I try to distract myself as best I can until 11 when I take another 5 mg + proponal .

I cannot figure out why the valium seems to intensify anxiety at 6 pm after taking it but at least I am tired enough to sleep at night. Is stepping down 2.5 mg every 5 days radical, you think? I am 2 days into first of such drops. You said previously that it takes 5 days at least to stabilize....

Thanks again for writing me back because I wondered if you had given me up for lost. I hope that I can survive this detox without consequences afterwards and your friendship has given me faith!
