> At the moment, I am taking 5mg in the am and l0mg in the pm along with l5mg of remeron and chloral hydrate. I see the pdoc on Monday and have to tell her that I am taking an extra 5mg at bedtime from an old script. Others here, have suggested that I eliminate the chloral hydrate, as you develop tolerance after taking it for long periods, and increase the valium. I hope the pdoc will agree. I would also like to try Luvox again for my OCD. Of course, maybe this would decrease if my anxiety also decreased. Fondly, Phillipa
Maybe an increase in Valium will help. I think the luvox will help. I took Luvox about 5 years ago for around 6 months and it was positive. As for chloral hydrate the posters might have a point. The Luvox makes sense not just to decrease anxiety but in the reverse limiting obsessing about how much anxiety you may have. That concept may have substance, provided that thinking about anxiety which leads to physical symptoms is a problem for you. Remeron works well for my anxiety, as an adjunct. JN
