I have a unique response to med as well...a very high tolerance. weird because I'm 5 feet tall and average weight (ok...maybe a little above average...lol). But in any event, I was like this when I weighed 110 and still even now I have a high tolerance.
The only thing that I'm sensitive to is anxiety. Which sucks...but I just got a nw ins plan that I just found out kicked in this october, so i'm going to look into seeing a specialist. I'm just anal about having all my info before going into seeing a doc, ya know? I want to participate in my treatment rather than just filling prescriptions written by someone that only saw me for 15-20 minutes.
And I really wouldn't mind the therapy (even if only to just have some time to myself), but I literally have no time...work full time, kids (2 toddlers), school full time...I barely have time to take a shower, let alone go to physical therapy. A rock and a hard place!!!
> > Jay when first got the panic attacks so long ago was on Miltown and valium. When felt good about a year later just stopped it and no withdrawal. That pdoc was shocked that no reaction. I just didn't and I was only about 25 then knew nothing about meds. Wonder why just stopped it and was fine? That's wierd but then so are my med responses. Love Phillipa

> Yes, you may have unique responses to medication as do I. Not many people would prescribe Miltown (if it is even available) and Valium together, nor Soma and Valium together, those are major CNS depressant combinations and can be dangerous in the wrong amounts.
