Hi Paul,
>Once would be hard pressed to find a doc to give up like 50 to 80 mgs of valium a day Ed.
Very true. Are you on 40mg at the moment?
>The usual seems to be 5 mgs 3 times a day.
In England, the usual dose is 2mg three times a day. Such miniscule doses would be valueless against my anxiety. When I (rarely) take diazepam, I normally take 10-15mg 'as required'. Less than 10mg is useless. I've never taken more than 30mg at once.
>K though, no problem, with my dianosis they prescribe up to like 6 mgs a day.
I don't think they appreciate how much more potent K is than V. They like the low numbers- it's dumb but it's true!
Have you ever tried chlordiazepoxide (Librium)? eg. 60-100mg/day.
Kind regards,
Ed.
