prestonwhitlow asked: I currently take Valium 10mg 3x a day for treatment of severe anxiety that has not been responsive to SSRI treatment. Sometimes I feel as if 10mg 3x a day isn’t quite enough to handle my daily anxiety, and I have considered discussing increasing the dosage with my psychiatrist.
Also, taking a pill 3 or more times a day seems burdensome. I have heard of Valrelease – which is, best of my understanding, extended released Valium. My understanding is that these pills come in 15mg capsules. Generally speaking, what’s the maximum daily dose that a psychiatrist will prescribe of Valrelease for a 230 pound man with an extensive history of anxiety, depression, and unsuccessful treatments?
PS – Please don’t post any nonsense or unhelpful answers like “talk to your doctor.” Obviously, I AM going to talk to my doctor about this, but I just want some idea of what to expect before my next appointment. Any spam promoting miracle anxiety cures will be reported

Randy asked: Just curious because I feel like complete **** all the time and I would like to be able to ask my doctor about something other than an addictive tranquilizer.
Also, no SSRI’s please. I should have mentioned that earlier.
