Dear Stepan Palvas:

Benzodiazepines are prescribed for anxiety disorders. In your new thread you wrote: “I have depression with slight anxiety”. I am surprised you were prescribed with an anti anxiety medication, and not with an anti-depressant. You wrote regarding the benzodiazepine that you were prescribed with, that “it will take about a month before it starts doing something”. This is true for SSRI anti-depressants, not for benzodiazepines. The latter have an immediate sedating affect.

Were you prescribed with anti-depressant and an anti-anxiety, two medications?

*Benzodiazepines are recommended only for a short term, a few weeks or so, not long term!

I wonder what is wrong with your liver.

I read your new thread, but will not post there because I can post here, and we can communicate on this thread whenever you want to. (It’s been very slow in the forums, not a lot of people replying, but I do hope that other members will reply to your new thread).
