CE, that info does help, esp to explain why my gp suggested taurine. Do you think I packed a single supplement for my trip?
Your post also answers why (Larry brought this up) that you take so much taurine.
Now niaminicide. Is that niacin? It must be different, because niacin gives that 'flush' feeling, right?
I ran that benzo chart past my pdoc, too. His response was to say that he doesn't rely on the charts because Valium dosage and effect varies greatly person to person. Wiki has something about it that I didn't quite catch. About accumulative levels. (He capped me at 15mg but sent me off with way more. Now my gp. She just gave me 5mg period and scripted me for ten pills for ten days. Again, period. She would not budge. That was my first go round. When I looked up equivalency afterwards, I was shocked at the discrepancy and really worried about going into some kind of withdrawal. She's a zealot. She scares me. That seems to be a harsh way to deal with someone struggling with anxiety.)
Yeah, so underscripting seems to reign. I am doing alright on the 15mg. I didn't go over yesterday after all. I took one more near bed and slept.
I think my anxiety episodes are breakthrough, like certain pain is referred to as break through.
But seems I write something here one day, only to have the next day surprise me :-/
Thanks tons for the info & support.
