I have just started taking 2mg of Valium and found it works well for the times when I need it. I am a little anxious about being able to get it for as long as I need it ? Thank you.
Diazepam - Is taking 2mg of valium occasionally but long term ok ?

As long as you are not taking more than what is prescribed, it shouldnt be a problem. 2mg is a tiny dose but if you take it more often than you should or take more tablets than prescribed, you can run into trouble but as long as you stick to taking no more than prescribed, you shouldnt have any problems. The Dr will refuse to refill only if he thinks you are developing a "problem".

Thank you so much for your reply. I have only taken 3 in the past month to be honest. Just was a little worried about getting them again as they worked so well. I know sometimes they are reluctant to give you any more. Thanks again.

You are using them very sparingly then so it shouldnt be a problem but yes, Valium is a drug they are a little reluctant to prescribe but it is because it is so habit forming. If you dont use them too often, I dont think you will have a problem but it is really up to your Dr.

What is the instruction from the Dr? Should not be a problem getting a refill yet, it's not clear "when I need it" does that mean taking less than prescribed, or more?

Well, that's fine. I would think many use it that way, myself included. That said, shouldn't be any problem getting a refill just to long as too much time doesn't go by, say more than 60 days.

You are very welcome. It's refreshing to hear from someone who is using and not abusing.
