Yes I'm a longtime user of valium. But in between I've been on xanax, ativan, and klonopin. I think my chemistry has changed because I used to feel so very relaxed with 5mg of valium when stress was intolerable. Now I don't feel a thing. I am sleeping for longer stretches of time, but when I wake up I'm awake. I mean awake. I need something else to return to sleep. Maybe it's because I've gone through menopause and I'm not as anxious. Also maybe I don't require the same amt of sleep I once did. Maxime, I often think of you when I wake-up early. I say to myself "how does Maxime get by on 4 hours of sleep?" But you know, I'm not any more tired during the day on less sleep. Fondly, Phillipa
