Good info. I didn't know half of that.
Although Valium or other benzos help a lot with certain medical issues in life and I was asked to use them by a doctor in 2005 I think everyone should do their research first, second look at the long term affects and everything I between. Because I started in Australia with 50 5mg Valium, before I knew it it I had about 5 doctors (doctor hoping) not because I was abusing the drug but simply because my tolerance became higher and higher. Now 11 years later do I regret it? NO because I had a daughter on the way and had seriously suffered with anxiety most of my life, when I actually got to sit down with a professional and talk about my life I was drinking due to certain things that had happened and caused anxiety and depression as a teenager an adult. After coming back to the UK I was refused my medication by 11 different doctors and had to go to the black market. Still to this day the medication that helped me to overcome my daily depression and struggles I still can not get a prediction for. Xyprexa. A mood stabilizer that not only helped me get out of bed and feel ready for the day but also helped me in many other ways. I now buy a similar tablet from a friend that helps but for the life of me I will never understand why I could not get my medication in the UK. Even after doctors records being sent and proof that I had continually used these meds. It breaks my heart as a friend told me a story about his mum who has MS. She was on tramdol (pain killer) and pregablin. After explaining to her doctor the pregablin was not helping her on that dose and wanted to reduce he stopped her tramadol. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS HELPING HER WITH THE PAIN. Why should someone who cannot walk and not confident to speak up and tell the doctor straight suffer in pain like this. If the NHS cost money who would use it seriously. I lived in California for nearly two years and if you are sick they would keep you comfortable. There health care system obviously is completely different to ours but my American partner always asks me why do they make people suffer here? NHS good question.
