Insomniac that needs advice?!


Question: Insomniac that needs advice!?
Can anybody please tell me what the difference is between Temazepam and Diazepam!?

I have Post natal depression and a pre existing severe anxiety disorder that has come back with a vengance and has me suffering with insomnia!. I find that temazepam 10mg works for me better than diazepam but am reluctant to go back to the docs for another prescription, for fear of getting addicted!.

Does anybody out there relate to this, or have any constructive advice!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I have a prescription for both tamazepam and diazepam!. Tamazepam is a sleeping tablet designed to knock you out while diazepam is a relaxant to help you get to sleep!.

Basically Tamazepam is a stronger medication with more addictive qualities, its also a higher schedule of drug (S9) as opposed to (S4)

If your worried about addiction talk to a doctor about alternative therapies, many herbal relaxants work just as well as the stong medication kind!. On that note I would recommend Nervatona!. Ask your chemist!.

They are both benzodiazapenes; both are addictive; Diazepam less so!. Many months of tapering off are required for both (see page Z!.22, in section 2, at ezy build, below)!. Postpartum depression is addressed on page Z!.4, and anxiety in section 6; see page N first!.

Most doctors are only trained to prescribe various types, and strengths of antidepressants, and counselling!. If the depression proves to be resistant, their next approach is to recommend ECT, with its 1 in 50,000 risk of death, and the possibility of permanent, partial memory loss!. There are many other things you can do to help treat your depression!.

Moderate exercise for at least 20 - 30 minutes, daily, and up to an hour!. Brisk walking is good, and try to be mindful of the feeling your foot makes as it hits the ground: it is a relaxation technique!. Also use daily, one of the relaxation methods in sections 2, 2!.c, 2!.i, or 11, and/or yoga, Tai Chi, and/or the EFT, in sections 2!.q, 2!.o, and section 53, at http://www!.ezy-build!.net!.nz/~shaneris whichever works best for you!.

Take 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements, daily: (certified free of mercury) it is best if consumed with an antioxidant, such as an orange, or grapefruit, or their FRESHLY SQUEEZED juice!. If vitamin E is added, it should be certified as being 100% from natural sources, or it may be synthetic: avoid it!. Also take a vitamin B complex which is certified as being 100% of natural origin; a deficiency in vitamin B9 (folic acid, or folate) is known to cause depression!. Around 30% - 40% of depressed people have low vitamin B12 levels!. Depressed females using the contraceptive pill may benefit from vitamin B6 supplements!.

Occupational therapy (keeping busy allows little time for unproductive introspection, and keeps mental activity out of less desirable areas of the brain)!. As options, if desired, either a known, effective herbal remedy, such as St!. John's wort, (a German variety, if possible; local ones may vary in efficacy; take with a meal) or supplements, such as SAMe, or Inositol (from vitamin and health food stores, some supermarkets, or mail order: view section 55 at ezy-build )!.

Initially, at least, some form of counselling, preferably either Cognitive Behavio(u)ral Therapy, or Rational Emotive Behavio(u)ral Therapy!. Co-counselling is shown in the first 3 pages of section 2, or online therapy, or even talking with someone you feel comfortable with, and a much more detailed post is on page R, and also see page V; WOMEN TO WOMEN!. Insomnia is addressed in section 3; see page O first; try the EMDR, which came from a book on depression insomnia, by a psychologist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
