My Valium Experiment

[Flossy]

I did think you might have tried it already. I think it is a big deal life issue to finally find the best way to eat to suit your own body.

Yummy foods are a definite need in life and that gave me a smile to think of a big fella talking about 'yummy' foods.

It seems all of the answers for life and for PTSD fall into the balance category. Exercise, sleep, food, occupation, rest, hobbies, socialising.

Medications at the appropriate time and none at the appropriate time. Insight into when is the appropriate time for changes to be made and trust in your own thought processes to follow through on ideas. The assertiveness to be heard by MD's and willingness to see the process as a team effort rather than hoping someone else is going to give the answers that will work perfectly for you. A balance of discipline, surrender and acceptance.

I wish I had a huge pair of those old-fashioned scales and a block of wood with each aspect of a balanced life written on it. I would have to make the scales balance before I was allowed to sit my arse down to watch downloaded HBO shows like Fargo, Bates Motel & True Detective. That is an idea for another Thread.

For about two weeks now I have been conducting a little experiment with valium...

As I have been unmedicate...

This is a great idea if you fully understand yourself and the drugs involved which it sounds that you do. I'm pretty exp with Pharma's but since about 5 near death exp in 3 years on top of my past I can't take valium anymore? My doc only gives me 15 at a time due to being a suicide risk so I don't even bother getting them half the time because it's a hassle. I haven't had them for about 4 months now and my doc the other day asked if I needed them. I said YES... Yes I do! Haha wtf? Anyway it's day 3 and I've been having bouts of suicidal thoughts. Mainly

Great.
1. The differences with and benefits of valium over serepax for this use.
I am interested...

OMG the visuals I'm getting from imagining this ritual is amazing. I felt suicidal before now I'm laughing? What's wrong with me!!!!!

Anthony, as an extra to managing depression with the use of exercise, I have found that there seems to be...

Thank You I'm going to try this starting tomorrow and see how I feel

Just be nice to yourself @veesexton, pharmaceuticals are not the long-term answer. I have a box of 2mg valium at all times in my drawer, and honestly, they last me probably an entire year, or close to. I have to get a new box every six months because my lovely wife digs into them at times for her own stress management... but that usage is minimal compared to the damaging full 30mg a day dose, 10mg x 3 times daily. Knew someone on that... he was peaking... and could only sustain it short-term, as the valium alone would have killed him otherwise.

I understand that the "little blue pills" make everything much better. But I would take a step back and look at this from someone else's view. There will come a time when you may think that you have everything under control and the pills will cloud your judgement. Only you can take control of your life, so don't allow a pill to control your natural state. Fight it like I have for 15 years. I have PTSD due to a TBI. Crushed scull, 2 weeks in a coma for the bleeding to stop. My equilibrium was damaged so extensively that learning to walk again was more than promised. But, like you, the pills took my stress and anxiety away. I don't take the pills anymore and I am 100% the better person for that. Good luck on your symptoms and I only hope that you can have a sober life.
