I have been trying to only take 4 mg a day and take 2 mg when I get up and then 1/2 in the early afternoon and 1/2 in the early evening. My anxiety has increased and I am trying to not increase to the 6 mg a day. Looking for any advice as to how you may space out your dose. Thank you for any experience you may have with this medication
Diazepam - I am prescribed 2 mg of diazepam to be taken three times a day?

First of all, why are you not taking the dosage prescribed by your doctor? He/she prescribed it becomes he/she felt that would be the best, most effective dosage for you. The fact that your anxiety is not getting any better seems to support that fact. I would recommend you take the medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you absolutely don't want to for some reason, talk to your doctor and explain why - the two of you might be able to find an alternative solution. Good luck!

Maybe just take 1 at night or 1 during the day if you’re feeling Anxious.
I find this works best for me &
can only really share my own personal experience as I’m not a qualified Doctor.
Find a really good & understanding Doctor.
It took me months to find the right Doctor as most have no idea how to prescribe Medication to treat Anxiety or Depression.
Good luck
