The lack of appetite and fatigue you are experiencing may be a result of combining Diazepam and Alcohol – which is not recommended. Diazepam helps stimulate GABA receptors, so taking any form of additional gaba stimulator is duplication and not a good idea. There is no drug interaction between Diazepam, 5htp and L glutamine. But if you can stop the alcohol, I think your energy and appetite will return.
