adaptation to benzo side-effects

Posted by g_g_g_unit on March 29, 2012, at 1:26:52

Just tried combining 5mg of Valium with 10mg of Parnate and it worked a charm. No irritability, overstimulation, anxiety, etc. Only problem is I feel really dopey and kind of 'stoned'.

Is there an adaptation that occurs with benzos or should I cut back to 2.5mg?

I asked my psychiatrist if the dopiness usually goes away, but he said he wasn't actually sure.

I never felt doppy but then my primary diagnois is anxiety. You can try the lower dose long half life. Good luck!!! Phillipa

given the half-life, is it recommended to dose twice or three times a day?

When I first took it soooo many years ago was prescribed it for three times a day. Now take at night only. Phillipa

The 'stoned' feeling will go away upon future dosings
