Valium, not Dramamine

Never mind, remember how I told you to take out stock in Dramamine? Well I would like to amend that to Valium. We just made our flights to the British Virgin Islands for Sam & Tony's wedding. It involved 5 major airline flights and two flights that, I kid you not, the maximum number of passengers on the flight is 9. NINE!

So, Valium it is folks. Stock up! I know I am. But it is all worth it for this view:

Mothers aren't supposed to suggest you take more drugs, but in this case, go for it. It'll be worth it, plus the lake before, you won't want to go home!

My name is Paul Harris and i would like to show you my personal experience with Valium.

I am 55 years old. Have been on Valium for 20 days now. I decided to get off of all benzos after much reading and having a friend who was abusing Xanax kill himself (may have been other issues, too). I was taking about 4 mg of Klonopin daily. I read a lot of the reseach on benzos by Dr. Heather Ashton, one of the world's leading authorities on benzos. I was shocked to see her equivalency table for Klonopin and Xanax. 1 mg of Klonopin or Xanax is equel to 20 mg of Valium. That's right, 20!! Plus, Klonopin and Xanax have nasty side effects. That did it for me. No more benzos!! Because Valium has the longest half-life of any benzo and the least side effects, I'm using it and water-titration to get off Klonopin, a method widly used in Europe. 10% reduction every 10-14 days. So far so good.

I have experienced some of these side effects -
Headache, drowsiness in the morning. Hard time getting my Dr. to prescribe and go along with treatment program. Valium supposedly is far less addicting than some other benzos, with far fewer side effects. I hope that turns-out to be true.

I hope this information will be useful to others,
