I am so glad the pristiq is helping you and that your daughter has a renewed interest in school!!!!! Counseling is good. It helped me.

I have only been on xanax, never valium, sorry I can't be any help there.

So glad she felt that way.

Now if something happens and she has a hard time getting up. But gets
up later and wants to go. Work it out were that is possible.

It might be she needs a later start in her day.
If that is what happens. Odd as it happens.

I have some students that start the 2nd or 3rd hour. And go most of the
day. They handle say 4 or 5 hours but not 7.

Its odd but interesting.

Default I Hate This....

I just had the best 4 days in last year and half and today it's a uncontrollable full blown MELT DOWN...The Valium makes me angry but I guess I needed it because of others conditions....I do not know what I did to make me feel this way again....I feel hopeless and lost again.

Default Valium and Anger

Hi, MiaVita,


http://www.nationalmssociety.org/abo...pam/index.aspx

I would not expect that Valium would cause anger and that Pristiq would but I found anger listed as an unusual side effect


Quote:
Unusual side effects that should be discussed with your physician as soon as possible: behavior problems, including difficulty concentrating and outbursts of anger; confusion or mental depression; convulsions; hallucinations; low blood pressure; muscle weakness*; skin rash or itching; sore throat, fever, chills; unusual bleeding or bruising; unusual excitement or irritability.
Call your psychiatrist today. He or she can make adjustments so that you are safe and feel o.k.
