"I have been taking Valium for about 6 months now and I thank God every day. I have been put on many different medicines to help with pain, anxiety and very bad night terror's. This medicine has helped with all of these with few side effects. I hope this has been helpful to you. I know it has been for me."

"I take Valium for night terrors in relation to PTSD and anxiety disorder. I have tried many medications but nothing works as well as Valium does. This includes Klonopin, Xanax, and SSRI's used for this condition that do not work at all."

"I was having night terrors several times a night at the end of my pregnancy. I would awake several times a night believing that the terrible nightmare I had was real, I would be terrified, one night I even woke up believing that I was just touched on my arm and woken up. These are worse than nightmares, they are extremely lucid horrific dreams, your lucky when you actually wake up. Being 9 months pregnant I was very hesitant about taking Valium but there came a point when I had to. The first night I got relief from the night terrors and every night after. It's a great medication for this problem but I would make sure that the benefits always outweighed the risks."

"Diazepam has turned into a staple for long-standing MOTN insomnia and/or night terrors. Although the half-life is quite long, the active duration of effect seems to be about 5 hours after adjusting to the medication/benzodiazepine tolerance. 10mg works rapidly, and helps me get quality sleep that I would not otherwise be getting. In conjunction with therapy, exercise, good diet, and meditation, I have increased my REM and SWS (deep sleep) *significantly.* I’ve tried Nitrazepam, Clonazepam, Temazepam, Lorazepam (did nothing for me), and Triazolam. I have to say that none relax my nervous system quite like Valium and have to pay tribute to this classic that proves to be an effective adjunct to a holistic treatment of chronic insomnia."

"My life was a living lightmare until I started taking Valium. I have been on 10mg a day, taken at bedtime, for twenty years. It really is a wonder drug. I would not be here if I had not started taking it."
