Once bitten twice shy

I have been suffering from stress and depression for some months now and my GP has been treating me with Cipramil. I recently developed crippling upper back ache and he has prescribed Diazepam. That was Monday morning at 9am. I obtained them from the chemist and took one straight away and it seemed to help immediately. I took another one on going to bed hoping that this would guarantee a good night's sleep, the first for ages. I woke up one hour later. That is six hours ago. Since then I have been constantly tossing and turning in bed, walking around the room, going into the bathroom for no reason, coming downstairs to switch on the TV and then almost immediately turn it off, attempting to lie down again etc. etc. etc. I realy cannot remember a worse time. I'l be back at the GP tomorrow.

Removal of anxiety Clean Every Closet in the House

My Mother relayed a story to me about the first time she took her Valium, which was prescribed for muscle spasms as a result of severe scoliosis. ( Curvature of the Spine. )

She took it at night - and it had the effect of completely removing her anxiety. Anxiety is Stress, can wear you down, making you feel tired and listless - without energy.

So, having taken that Valium at night, she had a burst of euphoric enthusiasm, and motivation. She said she cleaned out every closet in the house, organized every drawer, and generally went bananas on a cleaning spree..... til 5 a.m.

This effect diminished soon enough though, as tolerance to Diazepam develops quickly.
