>I might give diazepam another try.
Bear in mind, the dose of diazepam needed to block alprazolam withdrawal symptoms may be high, and substantially more than you would otherwise need. It is therefore unsurprising that you felt tired.
What happens when you take say 5mg of diazepam while continuing alprazolam? Anything? If it helps, you could reduce alprazolam somewhat and continue with a small dose of diazepam, initially in divided doses then in 1-2 daily doses after a few weeks. Combining benzos is this way is unconventional... but might it help? I don't know, but you can easily find out.
>I wonder if I have bile reflux and not acid reflux? It really doesn't make sense but I've noticed it every time.
Interesting. Have you ever tried a prokinetic such as metoclopramide? (Metoclopramide is generally only suitable for short-term use). Domperidone should be avoided due to your borderline QTc.
