Diazepam on repeat

Will gp put it on repeat prescription? Years ago I had to go every two weeks to see go to get more.

My situation is that I am on antipsychotic, antidepressant and two moodstabilisors. Most of them on max dose. I have tried loads of medicines and it looks like there isn't much choice anymore. I don't feel well and I am trying to find away to cope. Psychiatrist doesn't have anymore ideas. I have started boot camp couple of times a week and trying to be social etc. I have had therapies in past. I am thinking if I try to survive by doing sports and have occasional diazepam for a while.

My life is easy going and no big worries.

I guess it depends on the gp and your individual circumstances. I have temazepam on a repeat.

I've had diazepam on repeat for 4 years but I started off on quite a lot ( 2x5mg) and am now on 2mg once a day or occasionally I take 2 if I'm super anxious.

Some doctors are ok with doing this but I think mine has been great as I have reduced them over time so knows I'm aiming to come off them eventually.

I will go and see gp this week to discuss about my visit with psychiatrist and what to do next. I will ask diazepam on repeat. I have been taking 2-4 mg per day.
