User Reviews for Diazepam

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.

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): 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.

Valium (diazepam): Really helped get my panic attacks under control changed my life hardly any side effects.

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): 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'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 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!

Valium (diazepam): It keeps me very sane.

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 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 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): Unlike some benzodiazepines like lorazepam, which is short acting, Valium is much better for those with social anxiety instead of once in awhile panic attacks. Valium is in the system for longer. Lasting effects are often desired as the medication will not need to be taken as often. This fact has been great for people who greatly fear addiction and overdose as a result of short acting benzodiazepines. I personally, was previously on Lorazepam for serious anxiety. Even though I was on in for several months, addiction or overdose was never a problem for me. However, I don't like taking pills generally, especially very often. Out of safety and convenience I was placed on Valium. It works much better for me.

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.

Valium (diazepam): I struggle with the choice of Clonazepam, or Diazepam. I can feel the difference between the two. Valium is a much calmer drug.

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.

Valium (diazepam): Took the edge off.

Valium (diazepam): Works very effectively.

Valium (diazepam): I like this for anxiety.

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): I have suffered from anxiety, muscle spasms, nightmares, tremors, restless legs and mood swings. I have taken 5 mg of Valium, sometimes 10mg on and off since an extremely stressful, nightmare of a divorce my ex dragged on for 3 years. My attorney suggested Valium, and my regular Doctor had no trouble prescribing this. 30 tablets will often last 3 months - I've had refills expire, as I only take as needed (since 1995). This medication has been a life saver for me and when I had PMDD (when it was just BAD PMS-in the '90's) I have taken Xanax in the past, and the forgetfulness was unbearable/couldn't drive, withdrawal was immediate and awful. No problem with Valium! My pain dr & regular dr won't prescribe Valium to anyone anymore-long half life? Ativan,buspar didn't help at all.

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): Since I was put on 10mg =Valium 3x a day it has helped me get through work so much easier and takes away the anxiety and makes it all go away. Currently I've been tapering and I'm now down to 0.5mg x2 a day. I never thought I could wean off that easy but I'm doing just fine. Nuvigil and Valium have changed my life completely! I also take 15- Seroquel XR and Mirtazapine to help me sleep at night. There's nothing like having a good feeling hard working day, then coming home to a hot shower and putting all my stress aside to just relax. Valium has helped me do this, A LOT better than Ativan did.

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.

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.
