How to counteract the side effects of Valium?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and understand your concern. Valium if continued for so long and stopped suddenly has its withdrawal with acute episodes of vomiting, nausea, headache, and then a little prolonged patch of anxiety neurosis. You are taking Baclofen and Pregabalin and Gabitril to counteract those symptoms. You have reduced Valium to 25 % so continue with the same dosage for 2 to 3 weeks and then stop Valium completely.

Therefore, she only needs a psychiatrist and a psychotherapist.
