I am tapering valium, gone from 75mg to 70mg, and first 5mg cut was quite painful.
It takes quite a while for symptoms to show.
Please be gentle with me as I am very mentally fragile and easily upset and am worried that an article I read full of scientific jargon means that instead of 70mg valium in my body, I might have multiple amounts, and need reassurance that this is just me worrying, but I have no scientific knowledge so I cannot determine if the valium in my body has multiplied after reading the articles linked below. Thanks in advance to anyone who reads these articles and clarifies things for me.
For the last month, about 4-5 days a week, I have been doing something very foolish, but have stopped now, so, please be gentle with me, as I am very mentally fragile and easily upset, and I have stopped what I was doing 3 days ago, and feel physically fine.
I don't use codeine enough to get addicted, just to lift my mood, because I am fed up of everyday being miserable.
I was taking five paracetamol tablets at once, as they had codeine in, that's 2,500-3g paracetamol at once, and heard that it can have a paradoxical effect on cyp3a4.
This article seems to say that paracetamol in large quantities can be a potent inhibitor of cyp3a4, and this has got me really worried that instead of my current dose of 70mg diazepam, there could be multiple amounts of this floating around in my body until it gets eliminated, and I am worrried that when it does, I am going to feel a whole lot worse.
I cannot understand the scientific jargon, I want to work out if there is going to be multiple amounts of valium floating around in my body.
Here is a brief article http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11811955, and here is a more detailed article, http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1742-7843.2004.pto940406.x/full
I read a more indepth article here http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1742-7843.2004.pto940406.x/full
and it made me worry that I could have multiple amounts of valium in my system instead of the 70mg I currently am tapering from.
I tried to read the numbers towards the bottom section of the page but I am not familiar with chemistry, and as it takes 16-18 days for symptoms to manifest I am worried that in 13-15 days time (I stopped taking this amount of paracetamol) I am going to ve very ill indeed.
Can anyone familiar with chemistry offer me some reassurance please that I do not have multiples of 70mg valium in my body?
thanks in advance
