Default Valium
I have 5mg valium nightly. Could that be making my NP worse? I am thinking of asking my GP for some anti depressants but not sure which ones as I also am on coumdin

SSRIs affect bleeding times, and are not recommended for
patients on blood thinners.

And yes, Benzodiazepines may make neuropathy worse.
What do you take the Valium for?

Default Valium
I suffer with depression and Valium has been helping to keep my demons away. I have read on the internet that anti depressants can also be a treatment for neuropathy. I commenced prisiq 3 days ago and already my feelings of shaking has subsided. I intend to wean myself off the valium but that has to be done slowly I believe.
