Phillipa, I don't know what's going on but wanted to lend you my support. How are you feeling now?
I'm getting the impression that you're suffering from GAD.
Something caught my eye: Valium. It's a tricky drug for the "elderly" (I don't think that you're old at 65 btw! ;) ). Valium tends to build up *extremely* quickly in certain patients who are over 60 (check the insert or prescribing info).
I once took care of an elderly relative (78) who was taking Valium. She was slightly "off", which I gathered was due to her age/slight senility. Eventually a new doc saw her and he immediately whisked her off Valium and replaced it with a shorter acting benzo. It helped.
You're on a low dose of Valium, but maybe you could consider trying a different benzo? Just a thought.
One thing at a time :) Hug.
