Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX,

Thanks for writing back. I cannot get it what doses of medicines are you taking right now?

You are taking cymbalta at present in which dose, 120 mg or 60 mg or 30 mg?

I also want to know how are you taking diazepam and in which dose?

I recommend reducing diazepam first up to 10 mg and then starting serax.

I will happy to guide you further after your response.

Dr.Chintan Solanki.
