Valium (diazepam): I was given 5 mg to take the night before a dental visit as I have severe anxiety and 5 mg to take an hour before the appt. I took the 5 mg of Valium in place of my Xanax and within 4 hours was throwing up and having the worst panic attacks. Had to call my doctor for Phenergan to stop the vomiting.

diazepam: I have been dealing with a high-conflict court battle on and off for 8 years. Two years ago I went to my Doctor because the stress was getting so bad my hair started falling out (adrenals depleted, onto hypothyriodism - what a mess). He put me on Zoloft which I only stayed on until I could go off. I wasn't depressed I was panicked, anxiety attacks, palpitations, etc., have no idea why he put me on Zoloft instead of Valium. Well we started our next round of court battles since I guess the ex isn't done annihilating me yet and same thing, panic, irritability, unable to think straight, thoughts swirling. A friend gave me a few 10mg Valiums and I couldn't believe how much they helped. I could actually THINK without freaking out! Awesome.

Valium (diazepam): I've found that for my sleep problems after trying many and all sleep aids this has had the least amount of side effects and I wake up felling great, not sluggish or with a hangover sensation. 10mg dose has worked wonders with my racing thoughts keeping me awake and to provide a relaxed feeling for a great night's sleep.

Valium (diazepam): I like this medication for anxiety but sometimes it makes me mean. I don't know if anyone else experienced this however, I highly recommend this drug for anxiety over any of the other benzodiazapines.

diazepam: My panic and anxiety problems used to be an everyday, or an every hour problem. I started using Valium over 30 years ago, several times a day. I am over 50, and am down to one or two diazepam a month. Maybe long time monitored use has been the difference, but I will never go anywhere without it. It has become a security blanket. It has been so effective, knowing it's there, it somehow does the trick.

Valium (diazepam): I have tried everything for my anxiety and depression including Klonopin, Xanax, Ativan. I did think Ativan did work for me but never did get it permanently but Valium has been pretty good with me so far.

Valium (diazepam): I have been taking two (one in the morning and one at night) 5mg Valium for the last five years. It has worked wonders for me. I have not changed the dosage and have had no reason to increase it. Before I started this medicine, I would literally tremble when I would get nervous. I don't even feel it in any way when I take it, but don't get anxious and am able to make decisions that I can't when I'm so nervous. This medicine has worked miracles for me and if anyone thinks because it is a controlled substance that it is not a really good medicine for some people then they are wrong.

Valium (diazepam): I have been taking Valium for 6 years. It's the best anxiety medicine I've used and I've tried a bunch. I take 4 x 10mg tablets a day. I don't know what I would do without it.

Valium (diazepam): A doctor prescribed this for hypertension, based upon his premise that mine was caused by anxiety. That was almost 40 years ago. After arguing back and forth, I agreed to take it on a limited basis. Now I use 2 mg, 4 times a day as needed, but only before lying down and never when I will be driving or need to otherwise be alert. It is a great help when I do get overly anxious, as I am prone to do. I consider it useless if I am up and about.

diazepam: One day I was absolutely hysterically crying over a tragedy and I could not stop. I took 10mg diazepam, and when it kicked in, I became emotionless. Not a zombie, but not out of control emotionally. Good relaxing agent which brings a little elation. I haven't found it effective for stressing out. Con: Long half-life. Effects of Valium can be felt for a long time. Pro: Also stopped my girlfriend's seizures.

Valium (diazepam): Whether coming home from a hard days work or worrying about the next job, Valium 10mg has been a wonder drug for me. It calms me down and allows me to think straight.

Valium (diazepam): I take 2 to 6 in the evening to settle down and be able to watch some T.V with my husband. I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, which I take two kinds of medicines to keep under 140/82.

Valium (diazepam): I am a very nervous person and would get very emotional after surgery, but if was given Valium before surgery I would wake up very relaxed.

Valium (diazepam): Valium has really helped me. It has made a difference in my life. I'm 24, I went from being violent and having anxiety after anxiety attack but since being prescribed valium it has worked wonders.

Valium (diazepam): I had panic attacks and I've always had pretty high levels of anxiety, but since I got put on valium I have not had one attack or even felt like I was stressed. I also stopped biting my fingernails down to the nub! A happy side effect was that I was told by my doctor to take it if my back started to hurt (because of my scoliosis) and since I started doing that my back has not "gone out" like it did SO much before!

diazepam: Valium is a God-send. It helps me to relax and not look at the world as a hellish pit of misery, pain and death. When I am on it I do not have irrational fears of death or disease for myself or loved ones. Basically use as prescribed and it can completely change your life for the better.

Valium (diazepam): I used to get severe panic attacks quite often. I started taking 10mg of Valium three times daily as prescribed by my psychiatrist, and after a year my dose has decreased to 5mg and I have never had another panic attack. Anxiety attack(or panic attacks) are very scary. I had made many trips to the emergency room thinking I was having a heart attack. I had symptoms like sweating, tingling in arms and legs, cold chills in face and a rapid heartbeat, feeling of hysteria, and wishing I would just die and get it over with.
Valium saved my life. It is very effective, and I am greatful it works.

diazepam: One of the best anti-anxiety medications ever made. Also very good for insomnia and muscle cramps or spasms. The minimal withdraw effects, due in part to the medicine's long half life, make diazepam one of the kindest benzodiazepines.

Valium (diazepam): Helped greatly with my anxiety - also helped with my depresstion. I took them for several months and when I stopped suddenly I experienced slight irritability but no other withdrawl symptoms. I did however gain a lot a weight while taking them.

Valium (diazepam): Very wonderful drug for those that suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. Like Ativan, it has less of a moody after effect such as Klonapin and Xanax.
