Thanks for your reply
I have tried pretty much every antidepressant over the years and I can never handle the side effects so my doctor eventually agreed that if diazepam enables me to lead a half normal life then I can stay on them ,not ideal I no but what other choices do I have
its only since that doc has gone that my new one has decided to cut me back and after 19 years I really don't know what I am going to do ,probably be stuck in my house for ever . X
