    Now nearly 0 alternative jobs or with much less wage, many different agencies generally closed or stopped their activity.

    On his birthday day, after we exchanged a few words, he promised to call me back, but no signs yet...

    I talked to Dr.by phone or online basis. She advised 10 mg/ 3 times per day, but at the same time asked to slow down or even not taking it at all in some days, if possible. Yes, only this medication.

    I didn’t realise you were only taking Valium. I’m afraid I assumed (which I should never do) that you were on anti depressants. Is there a reason why you don’t take ADs? Hunni, having been on Valium long term, I know that in the UK our doctors really don’t like us taking them - they are extremely addictive and usually would only be used for very short term issues
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I know, so I guess that is the reason the doctor is afraid of addiction too, asking me not to take it the whole week. Before New Year, the local GP considered additional tests to see, if I can "freely" take ADs.
    When I was ready for tests, the pandemic began. The medical centers do not work normally work here (now) due to pandemic, so in case of urgent help, the people are headed to emergency unit or go themselves. My country is still in red zone unfortunately.

    So hang on....you need to be tested to see if you can take ADs but they are happy to dish out Valium like sweeties? That doesn’t make any sense to me.

    I’m just surprised, given how long you’ve been struggling with depression, that the local GP is only now considering ADs. Do you know what tests they needed to do?

    Not sure, I thought she was thinking of allergies, but she told me it is mainly related to kidney/liver function.

    She is not considered too competent anyway, but local specialists generally avoid to prescribe ADs.

    Not sure, but they said based on my previous liver tests (ultrasound and family history).

    Could you try to get back and see them and see if they would consider it rather than valium only which is so addictive.

    I’m with Suzi - Valium is not the best option for anybody imho
