Hi Phillipa,
The doctor has me on 20mg Valium now too, but it's not strong enough. What happens over time? Does it work better when you're on it longer? My minimum of clonazepam was 2mg three times per day, and this dose of Valium is even lower than that. I read that the maximum dose of Valium is 40mg, which works out to 8mg clonazepam. That's a possibility because I would take 2mg in the morning, 4mg at night, but it was the afternoon that depended on the total amount I'd actually take. He also said that if Valium doesn't work, they have other drugs. Like what?? I've tried the other benzos. I'm already on Effexor XR (which I like), and a beta blocker.
Anyways, once these stressors are not as bad, I won't be needing as high a dose....but right now I *do*. We'll see what happens.
Thanks for responding. Say "hi" to our mutual friend!!
Sandy
