I am not a doctor either but know the meds in that combo are not good at the dosages you wrote. The dicyclamine is for Irritable bowel syndrome but is a pain med for the stomach/area...but not addictive.

These meds may be okay short term but I would guess they should really be used in a supervised situation....all very addictive.

I do have to admit that I was given ativan when I first quit drinking after I was detoxed in a hospital setting...but I have never abused drugs. I still take Xanax 0.5 mg on a prn basis up to two tabs a day and don't take any most days.

I am an alcoholic in recovery 19 years now and do have chronic depression & anxiety and have cut way back on my Xanax with permission & a plan with my PsycDoc.

It takes what it takes and every one of us is different. I wanted to be sober more than anything else in my life and I also wanted to help my depression & anxiety so I could feel better and have a life....much of which was wasted with depression and self-medication with alcohol.

I went to AA and followed the suggestions to get sober and stay sober and learn how to live a sober life and it worked.
