Diazepam dependence

2018-05-23 12:00:13
Hi, Doc tells, I've to take this med for life as I used diazepam previously for 30 yrs. Now, 2 tabs of etilaam 0.5 don't help. Doc told me to increase dose. Plz advise. Also, chemists avoid giving this med despite prescription. I'll seek ordering this med further.

It is important to rule out any underlying anxiety that may have led you to seek bezodiazepines in the first place..i cannot comment on your treating doctor's opinion because he/she probably knows your history better but if he/she is a psychiatrist, they can definitely help you in overcoming this addiction.
