Advice & Tips:
Fasciculatons had gotten so bad that they would keep me awake. I had argued with my health care workers for months about anxiety meds. I wanted Xanax or Ativan and they wanted me on Paxil. I kept buying Xanax on the street, finally they agreed to give me Valium (Diazepam). My Fasciculations got much better. I still have them but it's much much better now.

Takes away the anxiety pretty quickly. It does leave me with brain fog though. Sometimes hard to get out of bed after taking it. But it has made me calmer and less stressed which has made me a better mom, wife and friend.
