I guess it's wishful thinking on my part that there must be a better way. The other thing that I wonder is if diazepam really does fully substitute for a triazolobenzodiazepine like alprazolam. I read something the other day indicating that it did not. Perhaps using a tiny dose of desipramine (10mg) would be helpful in addition to the diazepam.
