"...helped and hurt..."
I can't help but read this reinforcing my feeling that "every measure involves a tradeoff."

Little Turtle, had you never taken antidepressant medications, would you miss them? Did the help ever exceed the hurt?

I take a prescribed benzodiazepine every day. It does triple duty:
depression (I am taking no antidepressant medications due to side-effects)
anxiety
neurology (over which the doctors disagree, but that's a long story)

Could I go four days without it?
No. It's not something I could stop immediately; that would be dangerous, or so the doctors tell me.

If I could wean off it safely and effectively, then might I be able to take it on an as-needed basis? I don't know. Could I go without it entirely? I don't know. Do I have it within me to try? I don't know.

((((((((( Rohag ))))))))))))

(((((((( little turtle ))))))))

I also take benzos every day on prescription

I also take no anti d. meds due to severe side effects ....

Wondering about taking on an ''as needed'' basis also, every 2 months I take one diazepam a day or less (running out on the prescription)

Maybe we could try together (((((((( Rohag ))))))))

My doctor will not prescribe valium everyday.

I get a small supply every six months.

Thirty Shades (feel free to ignore the questions), how often are you supposed to take it? Based on your personal experience - not your doctor's advice or directions, how often would it be useful to you to take it?
