I found that 10mg of the valium is effective for the anxiety. I'm no longer on the prozac. My current meds are simply Ritalin LA 20mg/day and Valium 5-10mg/day as needed. The funny thing is, the time when I get the most anxious is in the evening (it's been this way since before I was on Ritalin). It's more of an anxious depression, and it's hard to tell which came first, the chicken or the egg (anxiety or depression). Is it wrong to be taking valium for this?? 10mg really cuts through the anxiety, and leaves me feeling less depressed as well.
