I got a good refreshing night of sleep last night.

I am really grateful for the good night of sleep I got last night. I wish this would happen with more regularity. I think I might be having a little bit of a window this morning. Anxiety, chest pressure, widespread muscle tension and pain, tingling in extremities, and some fear  are still there but not at the almost intolerable levels this morning. I wonder how long this window will last. It is encouraging and disappointing at the same time bc they never seem to last or last very long. That has been my experience so far.

******************************************************

currently at 2  mgs of valium - don't know if I am going to make it.

I am miserable 24/7. Using lexapro to try to mitigate the w/d from

the valium and it seems to be helping like Professor Ashton says.

After I am completely off the valium, I will continue the lexapro for

approx. 3 months and then slowly start to come off the lexapro and

see how I do.....fingers crossed!
