> Laima really strange as I eat a lot of chocolate which contains theophylline and this reduces the effects of valium according to your links, also I have noticed that in the two years I have been back on valium from xanax that after the l0 years or so off it the old ahhh that's nices relaxing feeling didn't return. Also noticed that when I take the wake-up dose it doesn't put me back to sleep. But if I want to sleep 2 motrin let me sleep better. So maybe benzos don't work for me anymore. So what's a substitute if they don't? If the ad's don't work? Love Phillipa
It takes time for the washout to work if you want it to. Also, I've noticed that just about every new psychotropic I've taken, has given an "aah" once. Don't ask me why, but somehow the "aah" at the receptor for drug X, has a one-time life. Doesn't mean that it isn't doing its work, but the euphoria is gone. The first time I took Ambien it was like a psychadelic trip, I felt this warmth and a sort of gentle voice said come, come to sleep (not really a voice, but anyhow). Never happens again. But it still provides some sleep relief.
Euphoria is nice, but it isn't a necessity of psychotropic treatment -- in other words, it doesn't mean it isn't working.
