Has anyone out there been on valium for a long period of time for anxiety? I've tried a few and it really takes the edge off, but I don't want to be addicted to anything. I've tried effexor and Paxil, and they both made me feel crazy, but the valium didn't. Any advise would be appreciated.

Valium is a highly-addictive med and your use of it should be monitored by your doctor. There are a lot of pharmacists out there who will gladly refill perscriptions illegally for Valium knowing how easily people get hooked and how much money they can make by getting you addicted. (Been there.) It's tempting to continue taking Valium but it is meant for temporary use under doctor's supervision. Best of luck.

I have been taking it because I had a baby a while back and still have anxiety and some depression. Well I tried everything like Paxil,Zoloft,cymbalta,celexa, nothing worked really well. Actually some of the medicine made me feel worse. But Valium made me feel 100 times better, I am so at ease and everyone can tell a difference. So it to me is ok, just take it as needed don't over take any meds what so ever.
