Hi, so on top of having chronic pain and arthritis following a few left shoulder surgeries I also have severe anxiety and adult add as well. My doctor currently has me on valium for anxiety and I did give ritalin a 2 month trial but to do so my valium was temporarily cut in half and I ultimately would have to choose between the stimulants and benzos. The problem is stimulants only work properly for me if I'm on at least a small amount of benzo as the benzo takes the edge off the stimulant. How do I go about bringing up the benefits of the combination without sounding like I'm trying to get high? I brought up focalin as it works the best with the least side effects for me but I still would ultimately make me choose benzo or stimulant. This sucks because I know of a few people whose doctors have no qualms Co prescribing uppers and downers and in large amounts. I'm talking 90 rid 20s and 90 valium 10s. I get 120 valium 5s but when placed on 60 rid 10s my valium was cut to 60 as well. I feel like if I replaced the ritalin with the focalin I could get by on the 60 valium but idk if he will go for it and I don't want to push my luck as its very hard to find doctors around here who aren't benzophobes.
