Thanks everyone.
You raise some interesting points. I read that Zoloft and Nortriptyline work well together and maybe the Nortriptyline is too stimulating. I think I got about 5 hours last night but that was upping the valium and seroquel.
Understand the comments about Zyprexa, I just would prefer to avoid all of the neuroleptics.
I don't know how to explain it, I am not myself just feel very fuzzy.There were some comments made w/ regard to the benzos and some folks being on them for a very long time. I believe you can develop a dependence on these drug which requires increasing amounts to get the same effect. I also believe they cause memory and cognition problems, but maybe for some people that doesn't happen.
I checked the Ashton guideline on the benzos which is a way of tapering with Valium. She includes a detailed schedule for each drug. I could add some temazepam in the mix with the valium. I only have 30mg so I would have to open one of the capsules and kind of split with 1/2 valium and 1/2 of the temazepam. I think I will just try a little less valium and the Tryptophan and hope for the best.
Thanks for all the support. You are all very kind and helpful.
