Ummm. I have a question. Is Valium not preferred treatment in the US?
I've been given klonopin (depressive), librium (restless legs), Xanax CR (currently on maintenance dose of 1-1.5). Works well and said to have muscle relaxant effects which I seem to need.
Why has my doc not suggested Valium? Is there no xr version? Just curious--not looking to change. I associate Valium
with 'Valley of the Dolls'. (Now I'm NOT saying there is any validity to that association.) It's not any more tolerance producing, is it?And 3mgs of Xanax equals 30mg of
Valium? Oh well....Bob, best to you in your decision-making process.
