Operation: Fear, anxiety, dread.. Best med?

Posted by former poster on September 21, 2013, at 22:09:06

I have to get heart valve replacement surgery. Surgery has always been my the biggest fear. I told my Pdoc I have severe anxiety. He put me on Valium 40mgs a day. My anxiety, worry, fear is still bad, to the point I can't function. The valium seems to only be making me sleepy, depressed. I haven't felt any benefits yet after 1 week. Only 2 weeks left before the operation and I need to be in a better state of mind. Anything better I could take? I am quite sure I will run out of the hospital before they can get me under.
