Thanks to everyone who has responded. I'm not actually familiar with most of the suggestions but I want to write them all down and take them to my pdoc next week as a list of suggestions. Some of them may not be available here in Aus but I'm sure some of them will be. Thanks so much. I hope my new pdoc has an open mind because my old one certainly didn't and kept upping my prescription on Valium. Really awful coming off it.
