I even slept some last night!

May I just suggest that you never be tempted to take more than prescribed of a benzo. I think the aim with them is to use as little as possible, and hopefully for as short of a period of time as possible. If I could be off of my Klonopin I'd be very happy. I often refer to being in Klonopin prison. My psychiatrist won't take me off. I do have Ativan as a prn, but I try very hard to rarely use it, nowadays. |

I’m supposed to take it twice a day for now. I will ask for it to be prn next month I think.

Fantastic !! It’s takes a bit of time to really settle in and help calm things down overall.
You sure did need to get sleep

valium is easier to taper than many other benzodiazepines. :-)

So glad to hear the Valium worked for you. I've been taking it for a couple of years - a low dose of 2.5 mg per day. I know you should only be on benzos for a little while but this works for me and my doctor said that since it's such a low dose and as long as I don't increase it on my own, I should be okay. That tiny bit works wonders for my anxiety.
