Topic starter   [#12285]

Started Valium (diazepam) three weeks ago for pain and I am trying to work out whether what I am feeling now is tolerance or something else.

Sleep is the variable that moves everything else. Bad night, worse day, more memory gaps.

Some days are fine and some are not and there is no pattern I can find, which makes it hard to plan anything.

Ashton-style switching to a longer half life helped a lot of people and is worth reading about.

Mostly wanting to compare notes rather than be told what to do.

Sleep first. Bad night, bad day, more symptoms. Fix that before changing anything else.

Function over score. Currently on diazepam myself.

How do you tell the difference between the drug working and just a good week?

Following this because I am in the same place and have no idea what to ask at the appointment.

Reference ranges differ between labs, so comparing two reports is close to meaningless.

Ten percent cuts. Slower is faster.

Sorry for the basic question, but how do you actually start one of these diaries?

Access to mugs should be on the clinical questionnaire.

Ten percent cuts, of the current dose not the original. That is the arithmetic that keeps it survivable.
