Oh Jan...you are ok. I know you are "thinking" and "hypothesizing" yourself into panic here. Let me inject some logic into this as I see it as the best treatment for this situation....
Keep in mind you have been taking luvox and valium and xanax for a very very long time, you are totally used to them. There is no need to consider that they might hurt you really. You have had enough experience experience already to show you they work safe in your body. Just continue doing what you were doing under the guidance of your pdoc and you will be fine...if he/she says upping the luvox is ok then let it be...I know anxiety comes along with dose changes: "omg is it gonna work, i dont know etc....." then you just snowball into worrying about it. I think this combo of meds will not hurt you. *hugs* we will be here with you the whole way
> Okay this has been going on for a long time this being tired on benzos. Well I upped the luvox to 75mg finally and pdoc is glad. But the kicker is that I've lowered the valium from initially 20mg at night to total 10mg and .5 of xanax. Was searching internet late last night and saw I could have seizures and luvox and valium, and xanax shouldn't be taken at all as luvox potentiates effects of benzos. And I freaked myself out. How much does the luvox potentiate? And will I die I don't want to on the lower doses of valium as I exhausted but still to anxious to be alone even let husband walk outside the house without me. I don't know what to do. Yes the pdoc has prescribed all for me and thought the potentiation would relieve anxiety and help fears and dosen't. So What to do? Know valium has 200 hour life. So will I have seizures and why tired? I'm drinking two bottles of green tea and trying to get out of course with husband. Sometimes I want to do what I did when young and that was just stop the benzos. Wasn't on an ad then but had taken miltown 400mg and cold turkeyed it with no side effects at all. Am I that wierd? Please Help me figure this out. And the pdocs here no openings now shortage cause of the surge of new people in Charlotte. Phillipa wacko case.
