Thanks Atomic Rose. I think I remember reading that you take about 20 mg. Is that right? I'm going to give it a try again...I know I need to and would feel much more "sane" like you say, but are you going to stay on it forever? Any long term side effects? I went off of it b/c I felt better and didn't want to become "dependent" but I am a high-strung, type-A, perfectionist type of person and it is what it is I guess so if it will help me, I'll take it. What has your doc said about long-term? And how did you start increasing? (I take Librax now which has an anxiety component in it already so I don't want to go up too much. I'm really hoping the hypno kicks in and resolves some of my anxiety.)
Also, as you say it may take a week of d, what am I going to do about my life!!!????? I hate this. Do you think that if I took it Wednesday night along with some immodium (nothing too major on Thursday and Friday in my schedule...that I will survive a dinner party Saturday night if I keep taking immodium as needed?) Or maybe I should wait for Sunday...then I have to look at next week's plans... THanks.
