My pdoc has given me a prescription today for valium. (5 mg per tablet) He said to take 1 to 2 tablets before bed. I have been taking zanax for years, just to tweek whatever ssri I was on. (.5 if I needed it during the day) A couple of weeks ago, he wanted me to take 2mgs of zanax at night for sleep. Tried that and would still wake up after about 5 hours of sleep. The problem with that is I feel so hungover the next day and I have an awful headache.
We have tried everything else for sleep, so I asked him about valium instead of zanax because from what I've read, it is more sedating. Could someone tell me how it has worked for you if you've used it.
I also heard that it helps you to get off zanax.
I just hate taking anything that I haven't taken before without knowing what to expect.
Also, I will be starting Marplan on Thursday.
Thanks,
Courtney
