Thats my goal - take the antidepressants daily, and take a benzo only PRN
I have an added motivation, I want to get work in the mining industry, and benzodiazepines are a dirty word there - the industry feels that they present a health and safety risk becuase of the sedation they cause.... and I think the statistics about road accidents do bare that out to some extent..... so if you test positive, they usualy arnt too keen on employing you.
Its strange, there isnt any rebound anxiety, and I am still sleeping well (though have been taking a Unisom at bedtime since I started cutting down), jut a feeling like I have a minor bout of stomach flu....... a bit of nausea, a dull hweadache, a feeling of diconmfort in my guts, maliase
Anyway, I'll see how it all goes, I can only try.
I might well give mirtazapine a go phillipa - I think it could well replace the risperdel, zoloft and edronax, because of its multiple actions - just taking one pill once a day instead of multiple lots would be nice
