Hi again- i checked this morning, i made a mistake. My dr wrote intructions on the diazapam 'Take 2-3 tablets every day.'
They're 5mg tabs and one or two works as my only psych med. i take only as needed.
diazapam is good- you can't take more because it makes you too sleepy so you go to sleep. It's long acting also- not like ativan- i was in big trouble with ativan. i would take it too much and a tolerance started. Then i'd be short and the dr was upset when i ran out. Diazapam works long enough to get me over - even major upsets - you know - struggling with so many things now. It interacts with pain medicine and gets very sedating.
It's also good to have for dental appt, and it helped for the nerve block last week.
take care,
kerria
