Could anyone recommend an alternative benzo. to diazepam? I only take between 2.5 and 5 mg for residual anxiety, and took .75 mg xanax prior to this, with good effect.I changed to diazepam(longer half-life)with the aim of ditching benzos completely, but as I'm faring quite well on such a low dose, I've changed my mind.(I previously suffered very severe depression- accompanying anxiety, necessitating 4mg xanax daily).
I believe I feel slightly groggier on diazepam than I did on xanax, and am contemplating switching back to a low dose xanax- but I'm not too familiar with the qualitative differences in benzos (other than what I've read, and I'd prefer personal insights as to how they 'feel'!)
I'm fairly familiar with their pharm. properties, in theory.(I sleep reasonably well too, so that's not an issue really).
Any suggestions welcome.Col.
