For some odd reason, i've never met or found a dr in to a crossover. Most Drs are benzo ignorant.
I'm sure much could be MS exacerbations.
Last summer when i was down to 17mgs of valium, and couldn't leave the house, i had to crack, and went back up to 60mgs, and it felt good, relaxed, made me wanna drink etc, only to have the dr put me on 200mgs librium.
I assume this 60mgs valium, i'm not going to get any of that relaxation, sedation, craving to drink alcohol (not a bad thing:), probably just physically ill with withdrawal symptoms.
Many of the MS injections have a great affinity to induce depression, and to also induce flu like symptoms etc, not to mention the hundreds of symptoms caused by MS alone. My neurologist said that he almost requires his MS patients to be on an antidepressant due to the depression induced from the injections. In my case, he thought an antipsychotic, or even mentioned lyrica for racingh thoughts.
I almost laughed and yelled at him when he told me that benzo wd symptoms should be gone after 3 weeks, after a cold turkey? are you joking?
My neuro briefly spoke with my shrink, and they decided to put me on copaxone, which is a daily injection, as opposed to a weekly one, because it has the lowest possibility of causing psychiatric issues
