I was withdrawaling from valium, but decided to give up on that for a while, because I developed akathisia like symptoms. My thinking was that i'd go back on the valium for a few months and in turn i'd lose these akathisia like symptoms and I could stabelize myself. However, today I took 5 mgs of valium(I was taking 0.5-1 mg before) and my anxiety has been through the roof today and the symptoms are not all gone.
is this method not going to work? I am getting worried that i'll never stabelize. I am on day 3 of taking valium. Can it take a while for this stuff to get in your blood and do it's job? I'm so afraid that i'll have to live in misery forever. That thought lingers in my mind all day long.

How much were you taking before trying to W/D? How long did you go without taking any? Did you mean 5mg, and l0mg. I don't think valium comes in .5 and lmg doses. Fondly, Phillipa
